Forgotten Folic Acid!!!

I've just realised I've forgotten to take my folic acid for about a week! I don't know how it happened - I remember finishing one pack and then just didn't get another pack out of the cupboard.



I'm 10+5 do you think it'll be ok? I eat brown bread, rice and pasta and have cereal for breakfast but I've just done the sums and it only accounts for about 1/4 of what I need.



I'm so annoyed with myself and now there's nothing I can do!

  • Hiya,



    Don't worry hun, I'm sure it will be fine, just start taking it again now.



  • don't worry it will be fine and because of what u have been eating you have still been getting some folic acid. there are loads of women that don't know they are pg until 3 months and don't take it at all and everything is fine. I don't think a week will do any harm. as wispa said just start taking it again today. xx
  • I havent been good at taking folic acid the whole way through my pregnancy and didnt take much in the first 13 weeks due to constantly vomitting. I had a scan last week and everything is prefect infact the baby is even on the big side!



    try not to worry!
