When will gynae give you folic acid?

In my first meeting my gynae just asked me eat more vege and fruits. How early you are given folic acid? I thought it shd be consumed during early pregnancy as the baby will develop heart and brain for first 3 mths?

You should be given folic acid from the very first visit! Should start taking once you’ve found out because baby’s developing rapidly in first trimester. Can get from polyclinic at a subsidised rate.
