My gynac started me on a tablet but i forgot to ask the exact amount per day. Just want to understand thoda better what others were told. How much are u all taking?
I understand you must be feeling so overwhelmed with all these medical details, I used to stress over every single tablet too! For folic acid, my doctor had prescribed me a specific daily dose of 400 mcg right from the planning stage. Please dont worry, just ask your doctor in your next visit and they will write the exact brand and dose.
Folic acid is super important in the first trimester for the baby's growth. Usually, gynacs prescribe 400 mcg daily, but sometimes they change the dose if you have other health factors. Just show your reports to your doctor and let them write the proper prescription for you.
At my hospital, the gynecologist and the clinical nutritionist explicitly mapped out all my supplements in the first visit itself. You should definitely not self-prescribe these things, just call your hospital desk or ask your doctor directly. They will give you the exact daily requirement based on your blood work.
My saas kept telling me to eat lots of green leafy veggies for strength, but when we went to the clinic, the doctor said a daily folic acid tablet is very important. I think it was one tiny tablet daily that my gynac prescribed. Better to ask your doctor what dosage is right for u instead of guessing.
