Hi ladies.. mommies.. my wife is currently 11-12 weeks pregnant with our first child. For the first 8 weeks..her morning sickness was very bad..vomit non stop. It only got better recently during the 10-11 wk period.. she is able to eat normally.. slowly increasing the portion.
We have seen a GP during earlier stage of pregnancy and gynae recently.. both also prescribe folic acid. However she refuses to take the supplements. Her reasoning is that even her mom does not take them during her pregnancy (6 kids).. and other friends not taking them also etc. She heard from other moms that taking folic acid causes the body to be heaty. FYI my wife is more into traditional Chinese medicine.
I have read about the benefits of folic acid to pregnant ladies.. but I am unable to convince her to take them.. I mean the majority of doctors and gynaes out there can't be wrong about folic acid right? They would not prescribe something which can harm the mother and child..i really need help here..
Oh my dear God!!!! Poor husband!!! Where on earth your wife come from? She doesn’t know what is “Google”?? Or simply ignorant and thinks that she knows everything??? Now refuse folic acid, then refuse vitamins? Then refuse what else? Medication? Vaccine?? Tell her, it’s not only her baby, it’s also “your baby”, why putting your baby’s health on risk? It’s unfair.. How come your GP and Gynae goes wrong? It takes Upto 8-9 years of extensive study + practice to become a licensed Doctor, and 12years++ to become a specialist. There’s many research about the benefits of folic acid, but there’s not enough fact that folic acid causing “heat?”. Why would somebody concern about something that uncertaint and neglecting the facts, the truth, the priority. If she thinks she knows better, what else you can say. Good luck, you are such a good husband. If I’m in your position, I’ll told her to find another husband, seems like you’ll have a very difficult road ahead *temperMommyHere.We have seen a GP during earlier stage of pregnancy and gynae recently.. both also prescribe folic acid.
