This is my first child and I am afraid of taking medicines. But my OB explained it that it will help for the development of the baby. I told the OB that I bought 10 tabs of folic acid in the pharmacy, without her seeing it but advised anyway to take it. Me as a first parent, have fear on taking meds, seriously, I took the one that i bought from pharmacy and i feel fear so I decided to open the capsule and see what’s inside of it (because it’s a bit bigger than what i bought from my OB) and that capsule I opened, and just literally poured the half of its powder and drank it 😅 Does my baby will affect that? Disclaimer: I done it only once, only one cap of that medicine from pharmacy, and rest 9 capsules, I took it all (whole) plus the ones that the OB gave me. Hoping for a reply thank you! 😊

Folic acid is good for baby. Especially during their growth, studies have shown folic acid reduce the risk of genetic problem esp spina bifida-you can google on that. Folic acid usually comes In tablet form, you may get from ur OB in case you bought the wrong dosage. Even those whom are trying to conceive are also told to start eating folic acid. Hope this helps!
