Neural tube defects occur during the first 28 days of pregnancy, making it essential to start taking 400 mcg of folic acid at least three months before trying to conceive. By the time most pregnancy tests show positive results, the critical window for preventing spina bifida and anencephaly has already passed, which is why doctors recommend folic acid supplementation for all women of childbearing age. Fortified cereals, leafy greens, and enriched grains provide dietary folate, but prenatal vitamins ensure consistent daily intake.
