When to stop taking Folic Acid?

[violet-glow]

Hiya, I was just wondering when your meant to stop taking Folic Acid?
I cant remember when I stopped before.
Can it do any harm to the baby if ive taken it for longer than I should?

(Im now 14 and 1/2 weeks pregnant)

Thanks Jo xx

I took it throughout most of my preg and still do as it does not harm and you or your baby and you can take it for ever it's always good to get enough in your diet so there is no rule when to stop taking it as it occurs naturally in fruit and veg.

I swear it's what helped me conceive in the end as I was taking pregnacare and eating loads of spinich and dark green veg !!

I take Solgar's prenatal nutrients which includes folic acid, so I'll be taking it throughout my pregnancy. This comes recommended by a nutristionist I saw sometime ago so I'm pretty convident in what she instructed.
