What are free 'prescriptions' for?

You should get folic acid hun. I got some on prescription as I have a slightly higher BMI so needed a stronger dose of folic acid than what is available to buy over the counter! I also got given by the midwife some pretty natal vitamins and folic acid to take after my first scan!

If you don't mind me asking, what is your BMI hun? Mine is 35 but I'm still taking the standard dose via the pregnacare tablets. Just wondering if I need to be on a higher amount too.

I think it's in the 30s! I just checked my notes but it's not been filled in!
