Week 12(2nd trimester onwards).. cn take smaller amt dasage of folic acid instead like pre vitamin pills n nutritional milk for preggies.. they doesnt contain high amt of folic but just nice n safe amt for u

12 weeks and they will instead prescribe u obimin and fish oil. By 12 weeks if i still have the balance of the folic acid i still take as if not will be wasted and together with the other multi vitamins.

There is usually some amount of folic acid in the prenatal supplements u take throughout pregnancy.

Once my gynae prescribeb me obimin and fish oil then she asked to stop the folic acid.

Week 12 onwards. As was prescribed new obimin which consists of folic acid in it.

Week 12. But if you still have balance, you may take until you finish them.

Week 12, then my gynae prescribed me to DHA fish oil and Obimin multi-vits

Gynae never tell me to stop multi vitamin which contain folic acid.

Gynae never ask me to stop. Continued taking until childbirth
