Im almost into my second trimester now and someone told me folic acid is only needed in the beginning. I still have a lot of tablets left and was wondering if i really need to continue. Asking before i bring it up with my gynac.
I would never stop any supplement without asking the doctor first. Folic acid especially is given for a reason. Just call ur gynac and confirm how long u should take it.
No, dont stop it unless ur gynac tells u to. I took it through my first trimester both times. It is one of the most important supplements early on, just continue as prescribed.
Please dont stop on ur own. My doctor explained folic acid is most important in early pregnancy for the baby's brain and spine development. She told me to continue till she said otherwise, usually at least the first trimester and often beyond.
