It’s impt for baby’s brain development in tri 1. So if possible try to take. If you puke, try to find a timing that’s ok. I used to take bef I slp so that I can avoid thinking / puking.

It is recommended from prepregnancy to trimester 1. I forget to take it on days but would def take it whenever I rmb!

No, need to keep taking until end of first trimester. After that will reduce dosage and take other vitamins.

i think it’s best not to skip. folic acid works wonders for me. this brand especially.

No, need to take until end of 1st trimester and gynae will prescribe other vitamins for u.

Best not to skip. But if you miss for a day don’t worry. Just continue the next day.

I didnt take any folic acid on 1st trim as I found out I was pregnant at 15 weeks.

Folic acid best to take till first trimester:) Can read up the benefits online.

I took until end of first trimester and started drinking maternal milk.
