Li am fourteen weeks plus two days pregnant. Doctor has prescribed me 5mg folic acid daily. Do I need to continue it whole pregnancy or can I stop folic acid now. As already am taking iron supplement which has some 1 mg folic acid in it and taking folic acid containing fruits too.
yes,folic acid is very much essential for baby growth n development.. continue whole pregnancy n post pregnancy too..

Please continue ur folic acid tablets. As the demand of the growing fetus us high and it needs ti b met anyways to prevent any developmental abnormality. Folic acid in food is not measured and monitored and also absorption from different food items is different.
