Depends on your docs advise. I was advised by the doc to stop in week 12, as i was then prescribed new obimin which also contained a small amount of folic in it.

Hi, You can stop after 12-14 weeks but some gyne recommend it throughout the pregnancy. So just check with your gynae as well

my gynae told me to stop at week 14, but do check with your gynae if you have any concerns

I take the multi vitamins from the gynae which list folic acid as one of the ingredients.

Follow your gynae’s instructions. I took during the first trimester only.

You can stop taking folic acid now. It is recommended until 12 weeks along

It’s most important in the first trimester, so I stopped after that
