Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Folic acid supplementation early in pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida, as well as abnormalities of the circulatory system and the urinary tract. Vitamin A supplementation, on the other hand, can be harmful in excess during pregnancy and is not recommended. Vitamin D and Vitamin C are also important for a healthy pregnancy, but are not specifically linked to the reduction of these particular types of birth defects.
