Folic Acid

If you are considering a pregnancy research in the last 10 years has shown that the risk of having a spina bifida baby can be reduced by up to 80% if the mother takes folic acid (a vitamin) supplements in the three months before getting pregnant and the first three months of pregnancy.

Folic acid is available from the surgery or from your pharmacy.
