Folate supplementation in pregnancy

The nutritional status of women in the first trimester of pregnancy attending an inner-city antenatal department in the UK

“…15,16 In our small sample RCF was correlated to birthweight and head circumference. Although there was much less evidence of depletion than seen in our previous post-partum sample, there were significant ethnic and occupational differences.…”

Evaluation of dietary habits during pregnancy

“…Mineral complex and iron+folic acid were compared in Cochrane literature. With use of both, miscarriage and anemia rate were found to be low but no difference was found between the two groups ( 10 , 11 , 12 ) . Almost all of the women in this study were using vitamins during their pregnancy.…”

Maternal nutritional risk factors for small for gestational age babies in a developed country: a case-control study

“…12 Our finding is consistent with some randomised controlled studies which have shown that folic acid supplementation increases birth weight, 13 although a Cochrane review found a non-significant reduction in low birth weight in controlled trials of folate supplementation. 14 In developed countries, there is a well established association between folate status of pregnant women and the birth weight of their infant. 15 Folic acid intake from the diet is thought to be marginal in many pregnant women in developed countries.…”
