Ladies, what’s number one on your shopping list this week? If you don’t know already it should be folic acid supplements!

Why? Folic acid helps an unborn baby’s spine and brain develop and also reduces the risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida.

At this very moment you may be thinking of college, work or even what you’re going to have for dinner. Babies are definitely not on our brain!However, approximately half of pregnancies right now are unplanned!

As the saying goes, you cannot be too prepared! You need to start taking folic acid supplements every day as a baby’s spine and brain start developing in the first weeks of pregnancy.

By taking folic acid everyday you have enough in your blood to protect your baby before you even know you’re pregnant.
