This should be used until at least two months into the pregnancy. The reason for all this is to avoid the risk of neural tube defects, for example "spina bifida" or "spina bifida" before and around the fertilization period. However, this supplement is an extra addition, so the normal supply via food must take place alongside. Important sources of folic acid

A handful of nuts for Vitamin E / Source: Piviso, Pixabay Eating well during pregnancy often means Brussels sprouts, cabbage, chicory and broccoli. These vegetables contain anti-oxidants and iron, which are good for the baby. It is also important to get enough vitamin E, natural sources of vitamin E are: nuts, seeds and vegetable oil. Eating something every day that is meat, fish or egg is good for the proteins. Eat fish 1-2 times a week (preferably oily) because of the beneficial effect of omega-3 fatty acids on the development of the baby's brain. Sufficient calcium must also be considered. Calcium can be found in products such as milk, chocolate milk, buttermilk and drinking yoghurt. Half a liter to three quarters of a liter is not superfluous. But calcium can also be found in yogurt (plain / with fruits), pudding and cheese. To avoid constipation, fiber-rich foods are recommended, such as peeled fruit, legumes, and anything containing whole grain.
