Just found out im pregnant, about 6 weeks. Doc prescribed folic acid but i forgot to ask whether to take it before or after food, morning or night. How do you all take yours?
I used to forget so I set a phone reminder and kept the bottle next to my toothbrush. Took it after food to avoid any nausea. Just be regular, the timing matters less than not skipping.
My gynac started me on folic acid even before conceiving and said continue through first trimester at least. She told me to take it with water, not with tea or coffee as it can affect absorption. Follow whatever dose ur own doctor wrote, it differs for some.
Take it daily, same time so u dont forget, I took mine after breakfast. Dose your doctor will tell, dont decide yourself. Folic acid is really important early on for baby's development so dont skip days.
I put folic acid in my pregnancy app reminder and ticked it daily. App also said take with food and water. Whatever amount ur doc prescribed just stick to it consistently, thats the main thing.
Just take it every day as your doctor told, ideally same time so it becomes a habit. If it upsets your tummy a little, take after meals. Nothing complicated, just be regular dear.
