We are planning from next month and doc told me to start folic acid beforehand. Just wanted to understand from others when they started it and how early. not asking for exact tablets, just ur experience.
It's really important to get the right dosage based on your own body's requirements. Please visit a gynecologist for a pre-conception checkup, and let them prescribe the exact brand and dose of folic acid for you.
Haan, doctors usually advise starting folic acid at least a month or two before trying to conceive, na. Daily tablets help prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy. Just check with your gynac once, they will give you the right dose.
Before we started trying, my doctor put me on a daily folic acid pill. She told me it's super important to prevent any issues for the baby. I took it regularly for three months before conceiving, so definitely get a prescription from your doc.
Ah, those tiny folic acid tablets were the start of my endless pill-popping journey! Now in my 3rd trimester, my bedside table looks like a pharmacy. Definitely ask your doctor for the prescription, don't self-medicate.
I was so worried about taking the wrong dose before my pregnancy that I spent hours googling it. Honestly, please don't stress yourself like I did, just book a quick appointment with your doctor. They will test your blood levels and give you the perfect daily tablet.
