excess folic acid during pregnancy is very dangerous????

Moms, I just found out that excess folic acid during pregnancy is very dangerous for the baby. They say it can cause autism???? This is my first time being pregnant and i am really scared of everything that could potentially harm my baby. My doctor prescribed me folic acid vitamins... I’m really scared, it's such a gamble. If I don't take it, I’m afraid of deficiency, and if I take it every day, I’m afraid of excess. But what are the signs of excess folic acid, moms? Does anyone know? I hope we all stay healthy. #seriousquestion

Are you taking other supplements with folic acid? You can just follow your gynae’s instruction on the folic acid. What is your concern for not wanting to follow the instructions from your gynae actually? Usually it’s only one pill a day so how is it excessive of folic acid? You could potentially harm your baby even more if you choose not to listen or follow your gynae’s instructions. Sometimes it’s best not to think or worry too much when it’s not a big issue, to be honest. You are just scaring yourself from what I see.
