Abstract
Maternal serum folacin levels decrease during pregnancy. This decrease could not be explained by hemodilution. Postpartum levels did not increase significantly compared to values measured at partum. In a healthy Dutch pregnant population receiving no vitamin supplementation the folacin status is at risk and after pregnancy it takes considerable time to refill folacin stores.Entities:
