Folic acid (vitamin B9) is very important for the development of a healthy foetus, as it can significantly reduce the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs), such as spina bifida.

The Department of Health recommends that women should take a daily supplement of 0.4mg of folic acid while they’re trying to conceive, and should continue taking this dose for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby’s spine is developing.
