Folate transfer across the placenta during late pregnancy in women with epilepsy: A cross‐sectional, two‐center study
Folate delivery to the fetus during late pregnancy is primarily explained by its concentrations in maternal circulation. In persons with epilepsy, it may be saturable. The frequent apparent folate deficiency observed in our cohort highlights the importance of folate supplementation and monitoring of its levels in maternal circulation throughout pregnancy.
