Folic acid

Is everyone still taking the folic acid? I’m 19 weeks pregnant and haven’t taken them over 2 weeks. I don’t know if I should start taking them again?

My midwife told me to stop at 13 weeks

Yeah can just take vit d now: x

Okay thank you

Mine keeps giving me them at appointments the free ones when you get healthy start thing

I'm still taking prenatals (folic is in them) and vitamin D daily I feel better in myself taking them otherwise just feel constantly tired.

I’m just taking vit d. Different midwives have said different answers to me but last one said just vit d after 12weeks. With my other 2 babies, I stopped everything at 12 weeks as that’s what I was told back then! X

My midwife and nutritionist both told me there’s new studies out that show too much folic acid can be harmful for the baby. So I also stopped around 18 weeks. Get your iron levels checked though and discuss switching over to folate as an alternative.
