Unexpected pregnancy at the age of 38 without folic acid, this situation is not to be too nervous, because the daily diet itself contains a certain amount of folic acid. Folic acid is a B vitamin that is extremely important for the formation and development of the fetal neural tube, and can prevent birth defects such as fetal neural tube defects and fetal congenital heart disease. Folic acid is naturally found in a wide range of plant and animal foods, such as green vegetables, fresh fruits, animal liver and other foods. If you eat a well-balanced diet and are not picky about what you eat, then an unplanned pregnancy without folic acid won’t have a big impact, and you can just stick to taking folic acid in a timely manner after diagnosing the pregnancy. If there is an unexpected pregnancy without folic acid, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, explain the situation with the doctor, under the guidance of the doctor’s treatment.
