Can Vitamin B12 deficiency affect pregnancy?

Yes, Vitamin B12 deficiency during pregnancy can lead to birth defects and developmental issues in the baby. Low B12 levels can impair fetal brain development and increase the risk of neural tube defects. Pregnant women should ensure adequate B12 intake, either through diet or supplements, to support a healthy pregnancy and fetal development.
