I-Folic acid nokuvimbela ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa

Ukuthatha i-folic acid ngaphambi nangesikhathi sokukhulelwa kunganciphisa ubungozi bokukhubazeka okuthile kokuzalwa. Lokhu kufaka phakathi i-spina bifida, i-anencephaly, nokunye ukukhubazeka kwenhliziyo.

Ochwepheshe batusa abesifazane abangakhulelwa noma abahlela ukukhulelwa bathathe okungenani ama-micrograms angu-400 (µg) e-folic acid nsuku zonke, noma ngabe abalindele ukuthi bazokhulelwa.

Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ukukhulelwa okuningi akuhlelwanga. Futhi, ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa kuvame ukwenzeka ezinsukwini zokuqala ngaphambi kokuthi wazi ukuthi ukhulelwe.

Uma ukhulelwa, kufanele uthathe uvithamini ongakazalwa, ohlanganisa i-folic acid. Amavithamini amaningi abeletha aqukethe ama-folic acid angama-800 kuya ku-1000 e-folic acid. Ukuthatha i-multivitamin nge-folic acid kusiza ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi uthola zonke izakhamzimba ozidingayo ngesikhathi ukhulelwe.

Abesifazane abanomlando wokuletha ingane ene-neural tube defect bangadinga umthamo ophakeme we-folic acid. Uma uke waba nengane enesici se-neural tube, kufanele uthathe ama-µg ama-folic acid angama-400 nsuku zonke, noma ngabe awuhleleli ukukhulelwa. Uma uhlela ukukhulelwa, kufanele ukhulume nodokotela wakho mayelana nokuthi kufanele ukwenyuse ukudla kwakho kwe-folic acid kuye kuma-4 milligram (mg) usuku ngalunye phakathi nenyanga ngaphambi kokuba ukhulelwe kuze kube okungenani isonto le-12 lokukhulelwa.

Ukuvimbela ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa nge-folic acid (folate)

• I-trimester yokuqala yokukhulelwa
• I-folic acid
• Amasonto okuqala okukhulelwa
