asacol folic acid

I've been taking folic acid and a pregnancy multi vitamin scince I found out I was pregnant. Now im past 12 weeks (12 weeks 4 days) do I need to stop taking it as ive read its only needed for first 12 weeks.

Hwy baby moma's... Has any one of u been precribed folic acid tablets by yourll private dr?

see im a bit confused because folic acid is in pregnacare tablets, but my wee tub of folic acid says to stop at 12 weeks its so confusing because you can take pregnacare throughout youur whole pregnancy which would mean folic acid should be fine throughout too, im a ftm so im new to all this haha:)

Hey girls just a quick question I was prescribed 5 mg of folic acid but before hand I was taking the pregnacare with the vitamins and ginger to stop sickness they have folic acid 0.4mg can I take both or is that far too much ?

I have just found out I'm about 4 weeks pregnant. I havent been taking folic acid as the pregnancy wasnt planned. Should I start taking now?

How many mg of Folic acid should a woman be taking? I can't take prenatals so I'm taking folic acid 400 mg and children's chewables.

I take extra folic acid. I've never been told it was bad. It is on my medication list with the Dr office and they go over it every time I'm seen. As for what dosage is right for you, I can't say. I will say, the reason I take extra is because I am a smoker. I was told in my first pregnancy that smoking leeches the folic acid out of your body, causing a deficiency from the start. I take the extra to combat this. Neural tube defects and the like are no joke.

im 7 weeks pregnant and the doctor prescribed me folic acid.the question is, is it a must for me to take folic acid? will i put on weight? coz generally im heavy weighing 104kg.

Im just wondering I havent really been taking folic acid as I have had alot of things on my mind and been super busy, anyone else had the same? Im really frightened incase ive done any damage etc...

You can find folic acid in leafy greens, citrus fruit, beans and whole grains.

So I'm 7 weeks almost 8 now and I only found out recently so I wasn't taking any pregnancy supplements or folic acid so just wondering if it's safe to start taking it now and if my baby will be okay even though I wasn't taking folic acid before

Hi ladies, a quick question! I am taking folic acid as Dr subscribed. I am nearly 10 weeks do I only take it in the first trimester or the whole pregnancy?

Just a curious question, has anyone taken folic acid tablets?

How many mg of folic acid are you suppose to take daily? My prenatal vitamins have 125 mg of folic acid but I feel like thats not enough.

So, from weeks 4-6 of my pregnancy ( the most important time for supplementing folic acid, as I have recently read) I was not getting enough folic acid from supplementation. Also, I eat mostly whole grains and gluten free foods. I rarely eat foods fortified with folic acid. Should I be concerned with matters such as spina bifida?

I got pregnant with this one about 5 months post pregnancy. A lot of people are telling me that I need a higher dose of folic acid as my body hasn't had time to go back to normal from my last pregnancy. I started taking prenatal vitamins as soon as I found out, and it has 800 mg. of folic acid. Is this enough? I would ask my doctor, but my first appointment isn't until a week from now.

My question regards folic acid. I have done some research and found that dilantin can lower folic acid levels, but I have also read that folic acid can interfere with dilantin, lowering the blood level, and setting one up for a possible breakthrough seizure. I recently purchased folic acid supplements because I thought it would be a good idea to take them, but now I am not so sure. The supplements I have are 800 mcg. Thank you for any help with this.

Im six months pregnant and I really been skipping out on my vitamins because they make me gag so Ive been taking iron and eatin foods with folic acid in them to replace me dropping the pills but now I'm worried it's not enough and something's gomna b wrong with my baby when I have it , did any one else not take pills
