Recently, many married Chinese women in their twenties and thirties have been receiving calls from their neighborhood committees. „When was the last time you had your period?“ the person on the other end of the line wants to know. Or: „Are you planning to have a baby?“ Or: „Your child is almost two years old now. You could get pregnant again.“ You are welcome to pick up free folic acid tablets from the neighborhood committee. A small gift from the party. Doctors recommend that women who want to have children take the vitamin to prevent birth defects.
