1. Action against gestational Diabetes.

During the pregnancy, your body naturally becomes more resistant to insulin so that more glucose is available to nourish the fetus. This is not a problem as when your body needs additional insulin to process excess glucose present in blood, the pancreas act here and secretes more. The problem arises when the pancreas can’t keep up with the increased demand for insulin in the body during pregnancy, which results in blood sugar levels rise too high because the cells aren’t using the glucose causing gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes needs to be recognized and treated earlier because it can cause health problem to both mother and baby. To know more about gestational diabetes please read the next article. In order to avoid such situation try to include fenugreek in your diet. Fenugreek is known to lower the chances of developing gestational diabetes. Fenugreek is reported to stabilize blood sugar level therefore often used by diabetics, however, during pregnancy, a doctor’s advice is mandatory before consumption.

2. Helps in contraction.

It’s been ages since women are using fenugreek to induce contraction. It is reported that prolonged labor process can be shortened by using fenugreek. Why use Pitocin when you got fenugreeks.

3. Encourages the enlargements of breast size.

You can thanks to all those pregnancy hormones for breast tenderness which is common during pregnancy. Thankfully, fenugreek can help you to provide relief. Just steep a few grams of it in lukewarm water and drink it every day.

When you might need some extra folic acid…

• Women who possess certain genotypes that are associated with a higher risk of NTDs. People with a genetic variation known as a methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) mutation that makes it more difficult to process folate and folic acid. If it sounds like you, talk with your doctor to make sure you’re getting enough folic acid.
• Women with history of prior pregnancies resulting in NTDs or a family history of NTDs
• Women with certain malabsorption disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease.
• Women suffering from obesity. Women diagnosed with diabetes
• Women diagnosed with the hepatic disorder.
• Women diagnosed with anemia.
• Women who use certain antiepileptic drugs.
• Women who take folate antagonists like sulfonamides, as methotrexate etc.
• Women who consume alcohol.
• Women who do smoke regularly.

Please consult your doctor prior to take an increased amount of folic acid.

So before we continue to explaining how come folic acid is a superhero for a

first, know

what is this Folic acid?

Folic acid is an essential nutrient for the B complex group of vitamins.

Chemically this cute little guy is C19H19N7O6 (N-(4-{[(2-amino-4-oxo-1,4-

dihydropyridine-6-yl)methyl]amino}benzoyl)-L-glutamic acid, pteroyl-L-glutamic

acid) let’s go with the folic acid only. It has been also known as

Folate, Folacin, Folvite, Pteroylglutamic acid, Vitamin M, Vitamin Bc,

Incafolic, Acifolic, Cytofol so don’t confuse with their names they have the

same function.

How it affects the body…

Folate, as a cofactor, is involved in numerous intracellular reactions in the body,
and that has been isolated from biological sources. Folic acid is involved in
single-carbon transfer reactions and serves as a source of single carbon units in
different oxidative states during the metabolic process. The mechanism
involved in the absorption, transport and intracellular metabolisms of this
a cofactor is very complex. This superhero does not stand alone, much of folate is
bound tightly to enzymes, indicating that there is not the excess of this cofactor
and that its cellular availability is protected as well as being strictly regulated,
which proves that nature’s management is the best.

Role of folic acid during pregnancy

• If you are pregnant or planning your pregnancy, it’s critically important to get enough folic acid. it affects the body in several ways …• It is suggested that folic acid can protect a baby from neural tube defects by atleast 50%. neural tube defects (NTDs) is a serious birth defect of the spinal

  cord (such as spina bifida). The neural tube is the part of the embryo from

  which fetus spine and brain develops. Neural tube defects occur at a very early

  stage of development, before you even know you are pregnant – which is why

  it’s important to begin taking folic acid before you start trying to conceive.

  • It helps to prevent brain defect (such as anencephaly: when major parts of the

  brain do not develop correctly.) in your baby.

  • You need folic acid to prevent a certain type of anemia, as it is essential

  for the synthesis of normal red blood cells and can reduce the risk of developing

  pre-eclampsia.

  • It’s also essentially required for the production, repair, and functioning of

  DNA, which is our genetic map and a basic building block of cells.

  • Folic acid helps the rapid cell growth of the placenta and requires for the

  development of the baby.

  • Folic acid can help prevent birth defects that typically occur during the first 3-

  4 weeks of pregnancy.

  • Consuming folic acid prior to pregnancy and at the time of pregnancy

  decreased the chance of early delivery by 50% or more. That’s why in most

  cases, women that consult with a doctor when trying to conceive are told to

  begin taking folic acid with prenatal vitamins.

  • It is been observed in the studies that folic acid to reduces the risk of other

  pregnancy complications which include:

  1. Several types of cancers

  2. Alzheimer’s disease

  3. Heart disease.

  • When you took before and during pregnancy, folic acid can protect your little

  baby against:
