Folic acid
Im 12 + 5 and had my dating scan today, just realised no one mentioned about folic acid.
Do i just stop taking it?
Any advice appreciated

I’m 12weeks and 5 days to an i contacted my midwife today and asked her if I should carry on taking my folic acid after 12 weeks she said you can still take it if you want but you don’t have to once you hit 12 weeks it’s just so the folic acid can help with the baby’s grown an there bones xx
I asked my midwife this she just said that as long as I took it till 12-15 weeks then it was fine but if I wanted to keep taking it, it wouldn’t make a difference

If you don’t want to take it anymore then you can stop. It doesn’t hurt to keep taking it but it isn’t necessary as long as everything showed up ok on your scan!
