Some questions and answers about pregnancy:

2. Taking folic acid during pregnancy:
It's necessary to complement the daily diet with folic acid to reduce
the risk of malformations in the neural tube. Also folic acid helps the
woman to produce the extra red blood cells needed in the pregnancy. Also
scientists are studying the possible connection with the concentration
of haemocisteine (present in the body when the woman is not taking folic
acid) and the risk of preeclampsia.

extreme anxiety during the last three months of pregnancy had hyperactive
babies. So, for your own good, relax!

should be avoided. The biggest risk is excess of alcohol and can be the
cause of alcoholic fetal syndrome. Recent studies show that a drink daily
can cause lack of growth and future behavior problems.

instructor that you are pregnant and they will know which exercises to
