Here is a link to one of bigger articles in which is stated why pregnant woman should take folid acid. It's decreases number of congenital malformations in children. Without any major studies over the topic u shouldn't be spreading knowledge which isn't checked. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4045958/
