I’d keep taking it I haven’t stopped taking mine yet and I’m 3rd trimester

I haven’t stopped mine either & also in my third trimester x

I stopped taking mine at about 20’weeks, just forgot to take it and fell out of the habit xx

The main weeks are up to 12 weeks whilst the spine is developing but you can definitely take it all the way through if you want to x

I took pregnancy vitamins the whole way through and they contained folic acid. I didn’t take anything separate for FA

I have been prescribed FA on top of my pregnancy vitamins because my levels were low so just carry on taking won’t cause no harm or you can stop when you reach 13 weeks xx

My midwife recommended me to stop at 12 weeks

Taking all the way through in my usual pregnancy vit

I was told to stop at 16 weeks

You don't have to continue but can if you like.

My midwife said I could continue taking it throughout pregnancy so I took it until I gave birth x
