    Do I take less Folic acid now Im pregnant?

    Hi

    I've been taking 1200ug to help sway girl, I'm now pregnant so should I be only having 400ug or be starting to gradually take less until I reach the 12 week mark?

    Thank you x

    No, you should stay on the same dosage of folic acid until 12 weeks pregnant and then gradually reduce the amount you take over a few weeks. Hth

    NO!!! Stay on the higher dose thru the first trimester and only then should you start weaning off. Baby will be formed by that point and past the danger zone for neural tube defects, but even then you should still wean off gradually.

    or her No, you won't be overdosing him/her. I took much much more to prevent neural tube defects, as I had a baby with an ntd. Never knew you had to wean off though. Is this not commonly known with doctors? As they have never told me this :s
