hi lovely, i asked my midwife the same question because with my last baby 6 years ago i was told i only needed to take it for the first 12 weeks but now she told me that they recommend that now you take Folic acid along with vitamin D the whole way through your pregnancy i take a combined pregnancy care vitamin which has everything in. hope this helps and Im sure different doctors or midwives may have different opinions on it but i just think it  definitely doesn't do any harm anyway! xx
