Can anyone tell me how much folic acid I should be taking? I just recently found out I was pregnant (about 6 or 7 weeks along) and I wanted to start taking the folic acid. I bought a bottle of 400mg. Should I just take one or should I take 2? I don't go see my OB until Wednesday and would like to start taking them ASAP.

Thanks everyone.

One A Day prenatals, have all vitamins and folic acid you need that you take once a day. Over the counter as well.

Just take a good over the counter prenatal vitamin that contains folic acid and you should be good.
