Folic acid
Didn't consume the recommended dosage of folic acid until week 10 of pregnancy and feeling anxious. Anyone had the same experience and everything turns out fine? 😭
Hi! I only started taking folic acid at week 7 when I went for my first gynae appointment as i am a first time mom and I didn't even know it was important to start consuming 3 months before trying to conceive 😅 I recently delivered and my baby is healthy ☺️ for now you could keep up with the folic acid, and just go for your gynae appointments consistently! In your second trimester you can also opt for more detailed testing - I went for NIPT though my family has no history of genetic and developmental abnormalities. Note that NIPT gives you the gender though! So if you're wanting to be surprised remember to let your gynae know not to send you the gender results directly :")
