I am 24 and when I was 20 I had a baby. That baby had a lot of problems (water crushing his brain) and a lot of defects. When I went to that appointment to find out if it was a boy or girl, the doctor looked at the sonogram and told me to end my pregnancy because he didn’t think the baby would be suitable for life. So I was induced and that baby was born stillborn. 💔 (I’m okay, I just feel bad about it) especially now I think I am pregnant but have not been taking Folic acid or prenatals for a long time. I had got my IUD taken out and started taking folic acid and prenatals. But then I stopped because I felt like I wouldn’t get pregnant, maybe it wasn’t the time for me to. Now I am sure I am, my period is 5 days late and my belly is big and my boobs and nipples are so much bigger. I went to my obgyn and he told me to take 4000mcg or 4mg of Folic Acid a day to prevent defects with this baby. (When I got my IUD out he told me that) And I don’t know how far along I am yet but I’m so worried and sad and feel bad and stupid 😰😣😭🤯 I need help and comforting. Sorry if I rambled a lot. This is my first post on here. If I’m already far a long will Folic Acid even help now? I need peace of mind 🙏 Today I started taking my prenatals, 4mg of Folic Acid, and krill oil.
