5mg folic acid and maternal milk

Dear mummies, I’m at 7 weeks and doctor prescribed me 5mg folic acid and duphaston daily and said that’s enough. However I got “kiasu” and am taking maternal milk too. Is this an overkill? Is my folic acid levels too high?

maternal milk is not necessary, it’s only marketed to boost sales. it actually contains a lot of sugar which is not healthy for the pregnancy. many mummies only took folic acid and duphaston as instructed. do listen to your gynae.
