No one expects an unplanned pregnancy. But they happen...every day. In fact, about half of all pregnancies are not planned. That's why you should get enough folic acid every day if there's any chance you could get pregnant. Because by the time you know you're pregnant, your baby's brain and spine are already formed.
Eat Right...
Most of us get some folic acid in out diet every day. Folic acid has been added to some foods such as bread, pasta, rice & cereal. Look at the labels to make sure. A well-balanced diet with fruits and vegetables is always important.
...and take a vitamin
It is easy to be sure you are getting enough folic acid by taking a vitamin with folic acid in it. Try taking the vitamin with a meal, or at night just before bed. Another trick to not getting an upset stomach is to keep the vitamin in your freezer take it frozen and to take 1/2 of the vitamin at a time. They also make small folic acid pills with nothing else with it that are easy to swallow.
