Hey ladies. I am currently 14wks and 3days and wondered when is it safe to stop taking folic acid. I had my last baby over 15yrs ago so I can't remember if i took it throughout the whole pregnancy or just for the first 3 months.
Any advice would be appreciated

Advice is constantly changing but with my twins last year it was to take both folic acid & vitamin D throughout the whole pregnancy...
Hi KazzieM, thanks for your response. i take the boots pregnancy vitamins at the moment which has a bit of everything in it, but they are so big I get nauseous after taking them. I see the midwife in 2 weeks so I will keep taking them or look for a smaller tablet until then and ask her what she thinks is best.
best to check with your midwife. I take pregnacare which has a bit of everything in it, but when I first got my BFP I was taking 5mg in addition to the that, but stopped after 12 ish weeks and Just carried on with the pregnacare.
5mg of folic acid*
Thanks Jadeelx, I will continue with the vitamins for now until I’ve seen my midwife. I’ve tried the pregnacare but I still find them a little on the large side, but I’ve seen a liquid which I can try. I’ve never been good with taking tablets lol.
