Hello,

I understand your concern. First of all, congratulations on your wife's pregnancy.
Myfol is basically a medical dietary supplement, also known as folate, or folic acid. Folic acid is a type of B vitamin which is very very important before and in the first stages of pregnancy in order to prevent birth defects in the baby's brain and spinal cord development.
It is recommended that pregnant women, beside taking a multivitamin which contains folic acid, also consume high quantities of leafy green vegetables which are rich in folic acid.
Your wife's constipation may or may not be related to pregnancy.

Wishing you all good health and all the best.
