Systematic supplementation with vitamin B9 is recommended from the moment a woman begins planning a pregnancy through the first two months of pregnancy. This vitamin, also known as “folic acid” or “folates,” reduces the risk of fetal growth restriction and certain birth defects in the unborn baby. This poster encourages women who are planning to have a child to discuss this with a healthcare professional, who can then prescribe vitamin B9 supplements as soon as they begin planning a pregnancy.
