Too much folate

I just realized that there is folate in two of the vitamins I’ve been taking since 1st trimester. Adding up to 1500 mcg. I have been in a panic all day about possibly increasing my babies risk of developing autism. I called my doctor and she said not to worry, but I can’t stop freaking out.

Any thoughts on this??

There is no concrete evidence that too much folate causes autism. (My mom is a pediatrician who specializes in genetic abnormalities) she says not worry , the only thing that truly attributes to autism is genetics and higher maternal age!

Thank you for the reassurance!
I’ve been taking Megafood baby & me 2 and Vitamin Code Raw B-Complex. Hopefully I wasn’t doubling up on anything else that’s even worse!

I’m relieved to hear it’s probably ok. Obviously I will be stopping the B-Complex! Hoping I haven’t caused any damage. I can’t stop worrying! 😩
