folic acid

[Laura_James&Amber]

hey girls, just wondering if anyone knows when you stop taking folic acid. i thought it was after 12 weeks but then ive heard some people take it throughout their pregnancies. just wanted to know if anyone is stopping after 12 weeks or carrying on. thanks girls, hope your all doing ok xx

some of the over the counter brands have other things in to help throughout pregnancy. i think you can take them all the way through. I think i stopped with alice about 20 weeks though (i ran out and forgot to buy anymore).

i think you can even take them if you are BF as well?

i stopped at 12 weeks,.,, but i don't think it would do any hamr if you wanted to carry on through the full pregnancy with it!

I think the norm is 12 weeks but I've got a multi-vitamin with added folic acid that you can take throughout pregnancy. DH bought enough to last past my 12 week mark so I think I'll just take it until I run out then stop

I'm taking a prenatal nutrient (Solgar) which I've been taking forever now, as it's for during pregnancy and after while you're BFing -which I still am . It has Folic acid in it, you can keep taking throughout your preg as it won't harm your baba - if your body has to much off it, it will just get rid of it so no harm done either way.
