I'm planning to get pregnant soon and I'm wondering if you could recommend a good brand of folic acid tablets? Also, when's the best time of day to take them?

As a doctor, I would recommend brands like "Folvite" or "Obstetrical Folic Acid" for folic acid supplementation before pregnancy. It's ideal to take the tablet in the morning with food to enhance absorption and reduce the risk of nausea.

I'm really curious about finding out the gender of my baby! I've got sonography scan reports from my 20-week appointment. Do you think you could take a look at them and tell me if it's a boy or a girl?

Gender determination is usually done during a specific ultrasound examination. If you are curious about the gender of your baby, I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider during your next prenatal visit. Please be informed that this is illegal in most parts of India.
