Folate plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and helps your baby's neural tube develop into her brain and spinal cord. Birth defects occur within the first 3-4 weeks of pregnancy.

One study showed that women who tookfolicacid for at least a year before getting pregnant cut their chances of delivering early by 50% or more.
