I've had conflicting things said to me. I have taken folic acid throughout because that's what it said on the Sanatogen Mother to Be bottle, however when I asked a hospital midwife she said I didn't need to. Then my local midwife told me I should take it throughout so that's what I'm doing. I'd rather take it then not I suppose.

My midwife doctor and consultant told me i cud stop after 12 weeks, it does no damage if u take it all the way throug so its a personal choice x

I don't mean to scare monger but there are studies which show too much folic acid can be an issue especially if there are already members of the family on the autistic spectrum . My son has ADHD and I have made the choice to stop taking folic after 12 weeks especially as this is also a boy that I'm carrying again.
It is a matter of personal choice and reseaching what information is out there. xx

I was told that as long as I took it all through tri 1 that was enough.

I took a high dose 5mg until 12 weeks, now I take a mulitvitamin that has FA in.

I was advised that you just pee out any excess?

I've heard there was a link between too little folic acid and autism esp in early pregnancy though so I don't know and im no expert on that but I've continued to take my pregnancy multivitamin because I think overall the benefits of vitamin d, omega 3 etc. has been proven more than other links. Also my mw said it was a good thing to do so I've trusted her.

I thought this was the case too that with any multi vitamins etc. what your body doesn't digest you get rid of

i dont think it applies to all vitamins. Definitely does though for vitamin C as the body cannot store it. Not sure about folic acid.

It is now recommended you take vitamin D all through pregnancy. This is a very recent recommendation. Most pregnancy multi vits have the Vitamin D and folic acid in it and it wont hurt to take the folic acid all the way through your pregnancy. Any pregnancy Multi Vit is fine as has all the correct levels of everything in it. A basic non pregnancy multi vit will not.

After my first lot ran out (just after 1st tri) I asked my midwife if I needed more
& she said no it's not that important after tri1 just eat ceral with it in x

 

[Loula]

I only took it up to 12 weeks and all is fine x
Mw said it was up to me x

I took FA from weeks 5-12 then stopped. I should have carried on with Pregnacare all the way through but since about week 26 I've become lazy. I of course got a telling off last week as iron so low (I'm veggie and PC would have helped).

New Government advice has Come out recently which recommends vitamin d in pregnancy as ricKets is on the rise. Our lack of sunshine means lots of us are deficient in vit d. Hence the new guidance. Pretty sure I was told this at my booking in appointment and its on the checklist of info given in my hand held notes.

I would certainly reccomend sticking all the way thru if you suffered from real bad morning sickness/ Especially if you still can't keep cerials and things down.

 

[Jayjay027]

I was told not to take vitamin d!
Either way, my daughter is perfectly healthy
