A woman who decides to get pregnant should seriously plan her time, meals, activities and rest. This is what allows you to avoid or to the maximum reduce all possible adverse factors that can affect pregnancy and the development of the child. Modern medicine has a fairly large list of tools needed for this. And one of the most important is the drug "Folacin", which during pregnancy prepares the body for gestation and future childbirth.
Why do women who are preparing for motherhood need to take special drugs? Vitamins for pregnancy planning affect the he alth and development of the baby and allow the expectant mother to keep her own body in order. The drug "Folacin" is folic acid (it is also water-soluble vitamin B9) and plays a huge role in the human body. In particular, for example, it is this acid that affects hematopoiesis, the synthesis of various amino acids, the functioning of the immune system, and is involved in the formation of RNA and DNA. It is vitamins with folic acid that helpprotect the unborn baby from congenital diseases and genetic "breakdowns". Vitamin B9 is also involved in the formation of the neural tube (the basis of the future brain).
Vitamins "Folacin" during pregnancy will ensure the proper development of the placenta, prevent violations in the development of the child and the need to terminate the pregnancy. In addition, a pregnant woman with a lack of folic acid often develops anemia, which is very dangerous for the fetus.
After all, lack of iron directly affects the development of the baby's brain in the first place, it can cause such defects as hydrocephalus, complete absence of the brain, hernia, a significant lag in physical and mental development, and even spinal fusion.
Folic acid can also be found in nature: it is found in raw vegetables (beans, spinach, pumpkin, asparagus and green peas), greens (parsley), liver, cheeses, fish and egg yolk, as well as wholemeal flour. But not always the level of it in the food received is enough not only for the child, but also for the mother, given the fact that a pregnant woman needs three times more acid than before conception.
That is why you need to take the vitamin preparation "Folacin" during pregnancy, following the doctor's instructions and listening to your own feelings. Allergic reactions to the drug happen, but they pass very quickly. The most important period to take this vitamin is from the second to the fourth week.pregnancy.
A woman can take Folacin during pregnancy in a separate form or choose a complex of vitamins containing folic acid. Currently, the best of them are "Materna" and "Elevit". And you should not forget about taking vitamins in any case: after all, only the most complete set of substances necessary for the body guarantees the proper development of all organs of the child and ensures the birth of a he althy and happy baby.
