My gynac gave me a tablet but I forgot to ask her properly about the daily amount. im in first trimester and just want to make sure im taking the right thing. How much did your doctor tell you?
My doctor told me folic acid is most important in the first trimester for the baby's development. The dose depends on ur own health history, so it's best she decides it for u. I just took mine every day as told.
When i told my doctor we were planning, she started me on folic acid right away even before pregnancy. So if u r trying, do ask ur gynac about starting it and the correct amount for u.
Folic acid is very important in the early months, that much i know. But the exact tablets and dose, let ur doctor decide based on ur reports. I just took mine regularly without skipping.
Your gynac will prescribe the exact folic acid dose, usually they start it even before conception and continue in early pregnancy. Dont decide the amount yourself, just take what's written on ur prescription daily.
Easiest is to just follow the dose on the prescription and take it same time daily so u dont forget, i kept mine next to my toothbrush. The amount really should come from ur doctor though.
