3. Kale Apple Spinach
This juice contains folate, which helps
prevent neurological birth defects in your baby. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention reports that women who take the
recommended daily dose of folic acid starting at least one month before

the genetic map of your baby. The recommendation from experts is to
have 400mcg of folic acid per day.
