My gynac gave me a tablet but i forgot to ask the exact dose and now im overthinking if im taking the right amount. Im 8 weeks. Just want to be sure im doing it correctly, what mg did your doctor put u on?
Usually, doctors prescribe 5 mg of folic acid daily in early pregnancy. It is very important for the baby's brain development. Please don't start any dose on your own, just ask your gynac to write the correct brand for you.
Folic acid is very essential, dear. Usually, it's 5mg, but you must ask your doctor for the exact tablet. Along with it, you can also eat green leafy veggies and beetroot, they are naturally rich in folate.
I panicked because I missed taking folic acid in my first few weeks, but my doctor reassured me and put me on 5mg daily. My baby is perfectly healthy! Just talk to your doctor, they will give you the right tablet.
I just delivered 3 months back and my doc had me on 5mg folic acid daily since we started planning. I took it every single day without fail. Definitely get the exact prescription from your doctor as they know your body best.
My gynac explained that 400 mcg to 5 mg is the standard range depending on your medical history. High risk cases might need more, while normal cases need less. Better to get your blood tests done and let your doctor decide the exact dosage.
Listen, don't buy random tablets online or take dosages from Google. Standard is usually 5mg, but your doctor needs to prescribe it after checking your reports. Go get a proper prescription.
Folic acid tablets are a must, usually around 5 mg, but check with your doc. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very careful with my overall diet too. Make sure you don't skip your medicine or your regular doctor visits.
My toddler is 2 now, but I still remember taking that small folic acid tablet every morning. I think it was 5 mg, which is the standard dose. It's a tiny step but so crucial for the baby, so do check with your doctor.
