Folic acid
Hi all,
I am 5 weeks pregnant and my dr has me coming in for my first appointment on March 5 (8 weeks pregnant). She told me for now to take a multi vitamin with 400 mcg of frolic acid for now! Is this enough? I thought the ideal amount was 600-800. I'm nervous because I really wasn't on vitamins before I got pregnant and I don't want to be deficient in folic acid.
What's your input?
Thanks,
Jackie

Why don't you just take an over the counter prenatal? One a day prenatal is good

Re: Folic acid
There is 1mg in my prenatal. My dr wanted me to take more and gave me a script for an extra 400mcg. I filled it, took it once, and had an extremely sour stomach for the rest of the night. I am sticking with the 1mg in my prenatal.
