Folic acid
Do you need to take folic acid for the first 12 weeks or all throughout pregnancy? I thought from my last pregnancy it was only the first trimester but my midwife mentioned it was the whole time?

Depends how your levels naturally sit, folic acid is a big part of making new red blood cells and helps to prevent anaemia, in pregnancy your blood volume nearly doubles so having the extra doesn’t hurt at all 😊
I was put on a higher dose of folic acid that I only had to take up until 12 weeks however I still take my pre natal vitamins🫶🏻
I took mine throughout my whole pregnancy as it was in my pregnancy multi vitamin & I’ll just do the same for this one
First 12 weeks but theirs no harm taking it for longer to finish using what tablets you have left , that’s what my midwife told me x
