Doc started me on folic acid from the first month. Im just wondering till when i need to keep taking it, full nine months ya only starting few weeks? Thoda confused honestly.
Usually, doctors suggest starting folic acid even before conceiving and continuing it at least till the end of the first trimester. It is super important for the baby's development. But honestly, just follow whatever timeline your gynac prescribes for you.
My elders didn't know about these tablets in their time, but my doctor insisted I take folic acid daily. I took it for the first 3 months as advised, and then she switched me to other vitamins. It is best to let your doctor decide the exact duration.
Take it daily without miss for the first 12 weeks, as that is the most crucial phase for baby’s brain development. After that, your doctor will usually change your medicines to iron and calcium. Just stick to your doctor’s prescription.
Yes! Folic acid is like the magic pill in the first trimester! ✨ Most docs recommend taking it till 12 weeks of pregnancy. Just keep taking it regularly as your gynac told you! 👍
