The call comes from Public Health Dietitian Andrea Basu. Last month Andrea, and colleagues at the dietetics department in the Wrexham Maelor, launched a local project to increase access to Healthy Start, a national scheme offering eligible families access to free vitamins in Wrexham and Flintshire. She is now raising awareness of the importance for mums-to-be to take the right amount of folic acid. Pregnant women and those trying for a baby should take a daily supplement of folic acid containing 400 micrograms before and during pregnancy. Andrea said: “Women planning a pregnancy and those who are pregnant are advised to take a daily folic acid supplement, yet many women may not be taking up the folic acid supplements in pregnancy when in some cases they could be entitled to receive them for free.
