Hey Girlies
You may recall i was panicky about the amount of folic acid i was taking and then i was reassured by you guys with the 400mcg, well i had my first appointment with my midwife today, it was really informative and encouraging, but she mentioned i would need to take more than 400mcg, i would need to take 5mg which is 5000mcg, which seems like a hell of a lot more.
She explained this was due to new research in women with a BMI over 30. Has anyone else been told this? When i saw my doctor when i first found out i was pregnant i asked him if the 400mcg tablets were enough and he said they were. so I'm a bit worried if i start taking 5000mcg as it just seems like a hell of a lot more, and now i'm worried that i haven't had enough over the last 3-4 weeks
