What happens if i miss my folic acid during pregnancy?
I missed taking my folic acid tablet for a couple of days this week. I'm really worried now. What happens if I miss my folic acid during pregnancy, especially in the early stages?
I had thyroid too, so I had so many tablets to manage every morning. Missing one folic acid occasionally won't do harm, but do tell your gynac in your regular follow-ups. They monitor everything so well.
Actually, mere saath bhi hota tha yaar, I used to forget so often in the first trimester. Nothing happens if you miss it once or twice. Just take it as soon as you remember, or next day se back on track.
Just make sure you eat green leafy veggies like palak and sprouts to get natural folate in your diet. But haan, don't miss the pills regularly because gynac specifically writes them for baby's brain. If you feel dizzy or have severe vomiting and can't digest pills, immediately ask your doc.
Oh god, I completely understand the panic, I literally cried when I missed my dose once! But honestly, my doctor told me it's absolutely fine and baby is safe. Just try not to make it a habit, maybe keep the tablet strip near your bedside table.
