missing folic acid..

[lozzi]

... i didnt find out i was pregnant till 6 weeks. for about a week i took my folic acid religiously and since then i have kept forgettin to take it! ive probably taken about 2/3 weeks worth and missed the rest. i know i shud have took them, but i just dont remember, do you think this will cause problems. ive been frettin for a while, but felt really stupid forgettin to take them.


anyone else missed a lot?

Hi hun,

With my first I never touched folic acid at all...........and she was fine! Don't worry babe, I am sure all will be just fine, look at all those older people who are fine, folic acid wasn't recommended for their parents! Try not to worry any more babe xx

I started taking it around 7 weeks with Jess as she wasn't planned. With Aimee i took it when i started trying till i was about 10 weeks. This time i started it about 4 weeks till i was about 9 weeks then i ran out and haven't got any more. Not very good!

i must admit i forget it now quite often as well its these PG hormones i think!! you can get folic acid from all sorts of foods as well i bet if you thought about it you'll be getting it that way, i think its in bread, green vegetables, cereals etc. you'll be fine xx

I hardly ever took it but now its be represcribed to me along with the iron (which I cant take). I dont know if this is because I was bad for not taking it during the first tri.

I was panicing about this last night!
Cos i was told i'm not ovulating i'd stopped taking it.... Figured there was no point until i get more answers from the hospital!!

Have started taking it again now, but have been eating spinich and stuff on my diet so should've still been getting lots!!!!
