I didn’t take folic acid, will my baby be healthy?

I am 17 weeks pregnant and I was not able to take folic acid in the second or third month due to severe morning sickness. I am really concerned about my baby’s health. This is my first baby and now that I’ve started taking medicines again I really wish that I wouldn’t have missed taking folic acid and I really hope that this won’t harm the baby’s health. If there’s anyone who has been through the same situation please let me know since I am really depressed and can’t stop thinking about it. Will my baby be healthy?

    Hi.

    Didn't want to read and run.

    How are you feeling now?

    Have you spoken to your midwife about how you feel? X

    I am 36 weeks pregnant and I haven’t taken folic acid this pregnancy as I felt really sick until about 22 weeks. My midwife has asked whether I had been taking it and didn’t seem too concerned when I said I hadn’t. I didn’t really take it that much with my first child either for the same reason and she is happy and healthy. Speak to your midwife if you are worried though.
