Taking folic acid at the wrong time of the day🤦🏻‍♀️

I am now 5 weeks pregnant. I have been taking folic acid consistently since April, even before TTC, 1 pill every night before going to bed. It was only today that I read online that... absorption is not good at night but morning as it's most efficient! I feel terrible now as I'm wondering if the past 3 months of taking folic acid religiously has gone to waste??😭 From today onwards I will surely take it every morning instead🤦🏻‍♀️😫

It's fine. you've been taking it even before u got pregnant,which is alrdy way before many mums,myself included, and the babies turn out just fine. Don't beat yourself up over it, your baby has sufficient folic acid.

I took folic acid at night throughout my whole pregnancy journey but there’s no issue 🤔

Me too, have been taking it at night before going to bed

just take anytime of the day, good enough *hugs*
