So I’m 4w6d and am yet to get to the shops to buy folic acid tablets! How important are they and should I be worried that I haven’t started taking them?!

Question

Answer

Don’t worry but get some ASAP, they are very important and should really be taken from before you even conceive 🙂

Answer

Meanwhile, you can take regular multivitamins if you have them. They have enough folate to be useful still, but you'll want to get prenatals when you can! The time period when folate is most important is really early, I think like 4-7 weeks. But lots of women don't find out they're pregnant until later and still have healthy babies, especially if you eat well anyway, so don't stress about it :)

Answer

You really should have been taking them right away

Answer

It’s important to start folic acid before a pregnancy begins.

Answer

The Doctor should give you a prescription to get them for free. Congratulations 😊
