Hi! I’m 12 weeks now and wondering if there’s a point you stop taking the folic acid and pregnancy support? Online is v confusing!

My midwife said you can stop at 12 weeks but it's only a benefit to continue xx

Usually the midwives tell you you can stop taking it past 12 weeks, however most pregnancy support vitamins contain it, it won't hurt the baby by any means if you continue taking it🙂

I was never sure if it was at 12 weeks or at the end of the 12th week so I stopped taking the higher dose at 13 and moved on to the multivitamins my midwife gave me which also contains the normal dose of folic acid

I’d speak to your midwife as some people are told different, I’ve been told to continue mine throughout my whole pregnancy, I don’t know if that’s due to history of losses, my health or whatever so worth speaking to your midwife if you are unsure as some people are told to stop taking them x

I take vitamins now the hospital give them to me xxx

My midwife told me she recommends throughout the whole pregnancy (:

I stopped at 8/9 weeks as I thought it was making my nausea worse , midwives usually say 12 weeks is enough xx
