DROP THE FOLIC ACID!!!!

When you first get pregnant you want to make sure you do everything right by your growing baby. One thing most moms do is rush out to get prenatal vitamins and most of the time they choose a supplement with synthetic folic acid.

Unfortunately, it has now been shown to up the possibility of breast cancer up to 35% in mothers and increases the risk for asthma up to 30% in the baby according to a recent Australian study.

Doctors and midwives are now suggesting prenatal vitamins containing folate not folic acid to decrease chances of spina bifida, smaller head circumference and certain cancers.

Not only has the US has been adding synthetic folic acid to prenatal vitamins, it has been adding it to many foods like rice, cereal, flours, and pastas thus causing an overdose effect leading to the major side effects listed above.

When I was pregnant I used Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal and am currently using as I am still breastfeeding.

It's important with EVERY pregnancy to research the current science findings as they are constantly changing. With each one of my pregnancies things had changed dramatically. It used to be laying your baby on their stomach, then it was their side and now it's their back. All that change in just 16 years time. So even if your kids are close in age, it's important to check new studies because a lot can change in a short period of time.
