Im taking folic acid since before conceiving and now im almost 14 weeks. Doc didnt clearly tell me till when to continue so im confused, do i keep taking it the whole 9 months or stop after first trimester? Anyone know?
Haan na, usually first trimester ke baad doctor change kar dete hain supplements. Mere case mein bhi 3rd month end hone par stop kiya tha. Aap khud se band mat karo, ek baar gynac se puch lo.
Listen, don't stop taking it on your own. Most doctors recommend it till the end of the 12th week, but some continue it longer based on your reports. Just wait for your next scan and let your doctor decide.
I took folic acid till my 12th week, and then my gynac shifted me to iron and calcium tablets. It usually changes after the first trimester. Just follow whatever schedule your doctor has planned for you.
Usually, doctors suggest stopping it or changing the dose after the first three months. Just keep a positive mind and trust your doctor's guidance. God bless you and your little baby.
I'm planning to conceive and my doctor already started me on folic acid. I was reading that it's crucial in the early months. Is your doctor planning to replace it with multivitamins soon?
