Folic acid

Hi Mummies! I’m going to be 2nd trim soon & doctor told me to eat Multivitamin tablet & DHA Capsule from 12 weeks onwards. I was wondering should i continue taking Folic Acid (like I did in 1st trim) together with the tablets & capsules suggested by Doc or take without Folic Acid? I forgot to ask doctor on this. Need ur help please! #advicepls

For me Kkh prescribed multi vitamins already have folic for us, but if lesser mg, so depends on your gyne recommendations. We will just go ahead with multivitamin and DHA but will not continue with folic

    Yeah, doc told me to stop taking folic acid too. Multivit has folic acid

    my doc mentioned that excessive folic acid isn’t necessary after 3 months & will be flushed out anyways. so u may continue with just the mulitvits and DHA!

    Super Mum

    Check the ingredients of the multivitamins you have. Most already include folic acid or folate so unnecessary to separately take

    inside the multivitamins there's folic acid. so u can stop taking folic acid seperately.
