Higher folic acid

Hi! Due to my BMI I have to take a higher dosage of folic acid. Can I still take the pregnancare vitamin thing or do I need to now find one that hasn't got folic acids in?? I'm really confused haha! This is what I take currently!

I am on higher dose and was told you can still take your prenatals as normal. They account for it xx

@Michaela amazing thank you, I wasn't told anything! X

I have to take higher folic acid too, due to medication I’m on. Midwife gave me 5mg folic acid pills to take on top of the pregnacare ones I’m already taking (same as the one pictured)

I also take higher dose of folic acid due to my mum having spina bifota and I got prescribed 5mg from the doctors

I just take one pill of pregnacare and 1 pill just folic acid from boots. I haven’t had my appointment yet since I am just being cautious

I was told to take my pregnacare alongside the 5g of folic acid. I asked the doctor if it would be too much though or cause me to overdose or anything just to make sure and the doctors exact words were “400 micrograms is such a tiny amount it’s irrelevant”.
