“…With great interest we read the article by Brandenburg et al (1999) in this journal in which they reported the periconceptional use of folic acid amongst women of advanced maternal age that underwent prenatal diagnosis. They found few women using folic acid at the right time and dose (25 per cent).…”

“…For 'advised period' we used the recommendations of the Dutch Inspectorate of Public Health in which the advised period is four weeks before till eight weeks after conception (Inspectorate of Public Health, 1993). It is unclear why Brandenburg et al (1999) defined the advised period in their study as 6 weeks (or more) before the last menstrual period and 12 weeks (or more) after conception when they referred to the official advice in their introduction. Evidently, it is more difficult to meet this 20-weeks criterion of Brandenburg et al (1999) than the official 12 weeks criterion.…”

“…Another factor that can explain the lower figures of Brandenburg et al (1999) is the use of folic acid in relation to parity. In our 1998 survey the use of folic acid at any time amongst women without children was 70 per cent whereas it was only 20 per cent amongst women with three or more children.…”

“…In our 1998 survey the use of folic acid at any time amongst women without children was 70 per cent whereas it was only 20 per cent amongst women with three or more children. The study popu-lation of Brandenburg et al (1999) is restricted to women of 35 years of age or more. In 1997, 46 per cent of all liveborn children in the Netherlands were first born and 18 per cent were third born or more.…”

Couples who plan their pregnancies can elect anticipatory care with the aim of improved health for mother and child. While it has proved to be beneficial in such specific disorders as maternal diabetes mellitus, preconception care is not yet established as a part of primary care. Preconception care is a form of community genetics and consists of three main components: risk assessment, health promotion, and intervention. Intake of folic acid during the time surrounding conception is important in preventing neural tube defects and other congenital anomalies. Primary care health professionals may be involved in providing preconception care, as may be gynecologists, midwives, nurses, clinical geneticists, and genetic counselors. Several questions arose from a Dutch pilot study. Is there a need for preconception care? Do women want this care? Can positive effects (and cost-effectiveness) be documented? How best are the parents-to-be contacted? Last, but not least, who should provide the care?
