Currently 7 months along and they have grown quite a lot. A friend told me they shrink and kind of sag once feeding is over and now im a bit anxious about it. Whats ur experience been?
When we decided to start trying, my doctor started me on folic acid right away, even before conceiving. She said it is important in the early weeks. Definitely ask your gynac to start you on the right dose.
My gynac put me on folic acid a few months before we started trying, said it helps prevent neural tube defects. There is a standard daily dose she gave, but if you have certain conditions the dose can be higher. Please get the exact amount from your own doctor.
Ideally you start folic acid a couple of months before conceiving. The dose is something your doctor sets based on your history. I wouldnt self decide the amount, just book a quick pre pregnancy visit.
