Start it yesterday, honestly! Doctors recommend taking it even before you get pregnant, but if you just found out, start immediately. With twins, my doctor had me on a proper vitamin regime right from the start.
My doctor started me on folic acid two months before we even started trying. Don't worry if you missed that window though; just start taking it now after a quick call to your gynac.
It's best to start it pre-conception or as soon as you get that double line on the test. It's a very simple but important vitamin for the baby. Keep a positive mindset and stay healthy!
Hey, don't stress too much if you haven't started yet! Ideally, you should take it 1-2 months before conceiving or as soon as you get a positive test. Just call your doctor today and they'll prescribe a simple tablet.
When we were planning, my mother lovingly reminded me to visit the gynac and get my folic acid started early. It helps the baby's growth in the first few weeks, so it's best to start it pre-pregnancy if possible.
I can't give medical advice, but personally, my doctor put me on folic acid as soon as I told her we were planning to conceive. I took it daily for about two months before getting pregnant.
I completely understand how scary it feels if you think you started late, I was crying thinking I harmed my baby. But my doctor calmed me down and said starting as soon as you find out is totally fine. Please don't worry, just consult your doctor.
