folic acid

[Kimbo]

i know you have to take folic acid for the first 3 months... but is it safe to take it for the rest of the pregnancy? and is it recommended to?

As far as I know, yes it is safe, I take it daily, my gyno subscribed it.

I am still taking my prenatal multivit and will do if I manage to breast feed as well

If you're not keen on taking folic acid on it's own, why not take a combination, something like lacatalins or pregaday etc, they have a small amount of folic acid in but enough for the baby.

I am taking pregnacare as i found sanatagen made me constipated too. Apparently taking folic acid all the way through can help reduce the risk of developing pre-eclampsia. Found this article which gives loads of info
