[Serene123]

Do I stop taking it now i'm 12WK?

 

[AquaDementia]

nope, nope, nope.
just keep taking it toriaaa!

 

[nikkybaby]

I thought you were supposed to take stuff like that until the pregnancy is over. I am continuing to take my pre-natal pills till I pop!

 

[AquaDementia]

yep, same as above. i keep taking my prenatals.
just think that it is for the baby, and you always want to be more safe than sorry.

 

[Serene123]

ive been taking it still but it says on the packet to take it up to 12wk lol

 

[AquaDementia]

it is most important to take up until 12 weeks, but it is very recommmended to continue taking after.

are you taking any other supplements?

i am just taking the prenatal vitamins...all kinds of goodies in one pill, and 1 mg of folic acid as well.

 

[Serene123]

I've been taking pregnacare for the past month. Hard to keep down but it has everything in it so I do try lol

I was told to stop at 12 weeks too, im considering getting the pregnancy vitamins but the good ones are like £20...

 

[DeeStar03]

NOOOO!!! You take it for a LONNNGGG TIME!!

 

[Jules]

I was told three months also... And they haven't mentioned these pre-natal vitamins your on about?!?!

 

[AquaDementia]

Folic acid is also found in Pregnacare vitamins (400 mg).
Up until 12 weeks, it is crucial to have 1000 mg daily.

 

[Serene123]

hmm, that isn't what my doctor told me lol. and there isn't 400mg theres 400ug

i stopped taking my folic acid at 12 wks throughout all of my pregnancies but i do eat a lot of cereals that contain it

 

[lady3]

I've also heard to keep taking it while breastfeeding as well.

Why don't u ask ur doctor? I dont think u should risk about it. I would never ask anyone else about stoppin something imp as Folic acid

The user guide on my bottle of folic acid says I'm not supposed to be taking it until after 8 weeks. Doc said until 10 weeks. I plan on taking it a bit longer though. hahaha
