Folic Acid

[lizylou]

Hi ladies I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow
I am not sure if you should stop taking folic acid at 12 weeks or not?
Should I take any other vitamin supplements after folic acid?
Many thanks xx

I've been taking a pregnancy vitamin tablets that contain folic acid and intend to continue as the tablet has loads of other vitamins in like vitamin d and iron.

After 12 weeks I haven't read it is important to take frolic acid because it is mainly taken to help develop the spinal cord which is complete by week 12. Up to you hon but don't see the harm in stopping or continuing now xx

I stopped taking folic acid at 12 weeks but you should continue taking it. My mw gave me vitamins to take that has got a few different things in it including folic acid xx

My midwife said after 12 week scan to finish your box of folic and that's it! X

My midwife said to keep continuing my Pregnacare tablets throughout, even when 12 weeks are up cos of the other vitamins in them. So that's what ill do xxxx
