I ate Chinese food which contained msg. Soon after that I got rashes all over my body and the itching was uncontrollable. I read in a website that msg damages the brain of baby. I am terrified and worried. Please help me. Then I realised that I haven't taken my folic acid tablets regularly, before I got pregnant. My doctor had told me take it regularly before 5 months of pregnancy, but I was very irregular. I forgot to it for month or two. But, when I got to know that I was pregnant, that is in 6 weeks, I have never missed to take it. I read that folic acid helps in baby's brain development, so I am worried that, whether my irregular eating of folic acid tablets will affect my baby's brain and intelligence? Thinking all these things is making me anxious and I am getting panic attacks, sweating and high heart beat are the symptoms. Please help to overcome this problem. I am going through a rough phase.

Hi, as regards- msg, once or twice is you have eaten, don't worry so much, it will not cause any harm to your baby. Regarding - folic acid tablet, you are regular in taking ever since you got to know about your pregnant status- that is good enough. Stop worrying on that account too regarding baby's brain development- there is now a blood test - double marker, which when combined with a sonography at a specified time will almost make sure that baby is born, mentally healthy. Please speak to your gynecologist about that.
