Im in my first trimester and doc gave me folic acid tablets but i forgot to ask the exact daily amount, thoda awkward to call again. Just wanna understand how much per day is normal. Pls share what ur gynac told u.
I just had my baby last month and my doc had put me on one tablet of 5mg folic acid daily till my first trimester ended. It's super important for baby's growth, so please get the proper prescription from your doc.
During my pregnancy, my doctor prescribed the standard daily folic acid tablet which I took regularly. Even after my C-section, my body needed time to heal, so proper nutrition and supplements really help. Just follow your doctor's dosage.
Generally it is 400mcg per day, but honestly, don't self-medicate. Just go to your gynac, she will write the exact brand and dosage that fits your body.
I get it, even I used to worry if I was taking too much or too little of my supplements. Gynac usually prescribes 5mg or 400mcg depending on your reports, so don't stress and just take exactly what she gives.
Hey, I am also planning my pregnancy currently! My doctor suggested I start with 400 mcg of folic acid daily even before conceiving. Are you also starting early or are you already pregnant?
