Folic acid

Anyone continue to take folic acid after first trimester? I have been on 5mg folic acid supplement in my 1st trimester and gynae asked to change with multivitamin. I have yet to see if the multivitamin contains any folic acid and how much dosage. Heard from some mums that folic acid must be taken throughout pregnancy, is it true?

I changed to obimin after taking folic acid for first 3 months... it consists of folic acid too...and it was recommended by my doctor.... baby is growing well so far...I'm at 24 weeks now.

Same here. Doc did say need not continue after 1st trimester however no harm cause if to continue so I’m still taking it since I still have it.

I’m still taking folic acid after first trimester. My gynae said I can continue to take if I still have it and it’s fine to continue taking.

multivitamins usually contains folic acid as well that's why 12 weeks onwards asked to take that instead of just folic acid itself

Folic Acid to be taken till 12 weeks.
