Been on folic acid since the start and now im in 2nd trimester. Do i keep taking it till delivery or stop at some point? Doc didnt mention so im not sure, anyone know?
Folic acid is generally prescribed for the first trimester, up to 12 weeks, to prevent neural tube defects. However, some doctors recommend continuing it throughout pregnancy or even a bit longer, depending on individual needs. Always clarify with your specific doctor.
Yaar, honestly, my gynac told me to take it till the end of the first trimester, like 12 weeks. But I know some friends who were asked to take it longer. So actually, it really depends on your doctor's advice and your health. Just ask them directly.
Folic acid is super important for baby's brain and spine in the beginning. My doc said usually till 12 weeks, but sometimes they tell to continue. For such specific medicine questions, it's always best to ask your gynac directly, na?
Oh, it's such a sweet worry, wanting to do everything perfectly for your little one! Folic acid is so crucial, especially early on. Your doctor will guide you on when to stop, often it's after the first trimester, but sometimes longer. Just keep trusting your gynac's plan.
My MIL always said folic acid is important till at least the first trimester is over. My gynac also confirmed this. But sometimes docs tell you to continue for longer depending on your needs. Just listen to your doc.
Folic acid is a big one, everyone talks about it! My doc had me on it through my first trimester and then transitioned me to other supplements. It's really about your specific needs and your doctor's plan. So just ask your gynac directly, they'll tell you when to stop.
