My doctor actually started me on folic acid even before conceiving, when we were planning. So it's quite a normal thing to continue. She'll guide u on how long.

Yes, just take the dose ur gynac prescribed and dont skip days.

Jyoti Murthy · Answer

My gynac kept me on folic acid the whole first trimester and then it was part of my prenatal multivitamin after. She said it's important especially early for baby's development. So yes but follow the dose ur doctor gives.

Both my pregnancies I took it throughout, doctor prescribed. Don't self decide the amount though, they adjust it. Just take whatever ur gynac wrote.

Yes most docs continue it. My app reminded me daily haha. Mine combined with iron later on as prescribed. Stick to ur doctor's plan and ur sorted.
