Hi everyone
I know Folic Acid is a must and am currently taking the recommended amount which is 400micrograms (1 tablet per day).
Should I be taking any extra because I'm trying to sway pink so cutting out certain foods.
I'm not sure what food contains Folic acid.
Thank you x x x

I've just read and it says on the box not to exceed the stated dose which is 400. I've taken 1200 today

There was a study released a couple days a go saying that taking folic acid before pregnancy reduces autism by 50 percent! And obviously during pregnancy just thought I would add that as a fellow autism mom

Thank you wanting-a-girl. Didn't realise that it could reduce autism. With DS1 I didn't start taking Folic Acid until I found out I was pregnant, never use to be told to take it before hand.
Thanks again xxxPlease have a go at guessing my nub http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultr...ing-guess.html

You need more than that for both boys and girls. Take the 400 mcg pills 3 or 4 times or even more if you have a history of repeat miscarriages or are over 35.
Yes, this is more than the amount that is on the bottle. Ususally it's best to stick to the dose on the bottle of herbs and vites, but folic is the exception to that. Higher than minimum doses are proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to help prevent neural tube defects and are believed to lower chances of Down Syndrome and autism as well.
Take the higher dose throughout the first trimester and then gradually wean off over 2-3 weeks to the amount in a prenatal - don't ever just quit folic cold turkey.!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!
