Q: Should my husband also take folic acid to further decrease the chances of our baby being born with a neural tube defect?

No, the consumption of folic acid by your husband will not affect the chances of your baby being born with a neural tube defect. Research shows that the consumption of folic acid in order to decrease the chances of up to 70% of your baby being born with a neural tube defect is only effective when it is consumed by women.
