Abstract:

Vitamin B12 is essential for bodily functions that are vital for human growth and well-being, especially during pregnancy when it plays a key role in the development of the fetus. Exploring the role of vitamin B12 in the early stages of pregnancy is the main focus of this review article. The focus is on how it impacts neural tube formation in the early stages of pregnancy. A comprehensive analysis of research was undertaken to investigate the impact of maternal vitamin B12 levels on fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes. Several studies have found a link between vitamin B12 levels and negative effects on the health of mothers and infants when pregnant. There could be factors contributing to this situation possibly linked to how vitamin B12 aids, in the production of blood cells that transport oxygen and essential nutrients to support the growth of the babies circulatory system early on in development Additionally vitamin B12 is involved in the growth of the system creation of myelin and closure of the neural tube. Insufficient levels of vitamin B12 have been associated with problems. Decreased cognitive abilities in the children of mothers according to research findings The study underscores the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin B12 levels for women who are pregnant or considering pregnancy suggesting that supplements could play a crucial role, in preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes and supporting the healthy growth of the babies brain. Insufficient levels of vitamin B12 may impact the development of the fetus in the womb. Increase the risk of neural tube defects or miscarriage, in pregnant women.
