Re: 2 questions for doctor; vitamins; bleedingFrom: Marie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 27 Jun 2003 13:10:57 -0500 (CDT)
Your doctors will have advise you on your situation, to determine the cause, Tx and prognosis, all of which may vary greatly in severity. Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) may be related to several causes & including but not limited to, Neural Tube Defect (NTD): not enough information to speculate but since you ask about folate, you may wish to search based on the information you have. Insofar as bleeding disorders, you could have one and it may or may not be passed on to the baby, you may or may not have active symptoms and in some cases, "normal labs" but abnormal signs of bleeding. For more information re Bleeding Disorders that includes a section on bleeding disorders and pregnancy goto: http://www.pdsa.org They have several forums there where you might also ask your questions and a toll free number 1-877-528-3538. There you will also find a list of Rx and substances known to affect "bleeding" http://www.itppeople.com/warnings.htm The amount of folic acid will be stated on any vitamin bottle. The USPHS recommends that all women of childbearing age who are capable of becoming pregnant take 400 ĩg of folic acid daily. http://www.aap.org/policy/re9834.html Also remember that you get folate in your regular diet, with many foods now, fortified with it as well. A prenatal vitamin may have less than the RDA to allow for dietary sources of folate. I hope this helps and wish you the best.

How much folic acid is in a standard prenatal vitamin? Thank you for your time.
