Folic acid

I didn’t know I was pregnant, my test kit shows that it’s 2 weeks plus and I ate up to 850mcg of folic acid Everyday prior to prepare my body for baby. Will there be any complications? I’m v worried, have not seen gynae yet

As far as i know mommy, taking folic acid is recommended when we reach child bearing age, not necessarily just for preggy mommies, because the essence of taking folic acid is to better prepare our body for pregnancy

was told by gynae too much folic acid the body will not absorb, will just be disposed off thru the urine, don't worry too much!

folic acid should be eaten before and even throughout pregnancy. no issue on that

Gynae recommend me 5mg folic acid.so 850 mcg should be fine

850mcg is a good dosage. Don’t worry!
