Will anything happen to bub if you take too much.
I know we need to take alot if we are using lots of salt and BS.
Just wondering though, if I am not using enough salt and BS, would I possibly be taking too much FA ?

how much FA are you taking?
I don't think too much will harm a baby - remember that doctors often prescribe extra folic acid to those who have previously had MCs
I take 2000mcg daily + my prenatal has 500
according to this website: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pre...guidelines.htm you shouldn't take more than 1000mcg of folic acid (Folate) a day even if pregnant/BF, although it doesn't say why
I was told I need to be taking at least 2000
who by?
I believe this is Atomic's recommendation while on the boy diet because some of the things they do deplete the body of folic acid. I'm sure I've read that you pee out any that your body doesn't need.
Just don't take more the 400mg of FA in the last trimester of preg because it increases the chances of asthma in the baby... what my Dr's say anyways.
Its ok to be taking 2000mg up until you get a BFP, then during the first 3months of pregnancy, wean yourself off it gradually untill you are only taking the prenatal for the last 6months.
Lots of people on here told me I should be taking that amount.Quote:
