Folic Acid
I have just found out I'm about 4 weeks pregnant. I havent been taking folic acid as the pregnancy wasnt planned. Should I start taking now?
I would just start taking a prenatal vitamin. That has everything you need including the folic acid. Congratulations.
Yes - folic acid is most important early in pregnancy. If you don't have vitamins on hand, go to the pharmacy and get an OTC brand that has 800 mg, if possible.
