Talk w/ OBGYN: There are problems associated w/ maternal B12 deficiency but you need to discuss your level w/ your doctor. It is not a definite cause of problems but neural tube defects are 5X more likely. Preclampsia, low birth weight and other issues are also possible. So, see what treatments or supplements might be helpful. Discuss your particular risks rather than worry about statistics. I hope you do well.
