Folic acid / pregnancy support tablets

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

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Friends??

Heyy!! My name is Marie I’m 24 and I’m a ftm and sahm to a 5 month old baby boy🩵. I find it really hard to make/keep friends 😅. Honestly I’m kinda inconsistent, like we could text for days and suddenly I stop texting for a while (hence why it’s hard to keep friends) but I will always be there and answer whenever you text!! I’m from MA but I’m down to lone distance friendships🫶🏽
