How long should a pregnant woman taking folic acid?

I am confused.. Because I read an article that it should take only for 12 weeks and others along the way during your pregnancy

1st trimester lng yung advice ni OB sakin. I'm on my 2nd trimester and Iron nman ang ipinalit hanggang manganak na dw yun. Continuous din Vit C, Calcium, B Complex and Milk (Anmum Materna Choco iniinom ko).

Thank you mommy Leah. Un sakin kc 1 vits every after a meal. God bless you po.

Yup. That's right! 12 weeks only. Then, may iba na ulit irereseta na prenatal vitamins si OB mo.

During the first 12 weeks of pregnancy only take this medicine if your doctor has specifically recommended it. For the remainder of the pregnancy Ferrous Sulfate tablets can be taken to prevent iron deficiency.

Magpapalit ka na ng vitamins dapat dahil sa growing needs ng katawan mo at ni baby. Hindi na sasapat ang folic acid lang.
