❗️Question for mums who have taken 5mg throughout pregnancy only❗️
I am currently 29’weeks and was put on 5mg folic acid from around 7 weeks due to bmi of 39 and previous pregnancy having a very mild brain issue. Midwife has said to remain on it till delivery basically.
I’ve been reading frightening things about being on the high dose folic acid and it’s really frightened me. Hoping anyone who has taken it throughout and had no issues would mind sharing this so I can relax a little?
Also I’m very aware there are people who are against folic acid for various reasons- I completely respect your decision but please don’t use this thread to air your views as this isn’t the point of my post! ☺️

Yes I took it my whole pregnancy with my last baby who now 9 months old as I had previous full term stillborn, I took the doctor word and when with what they know was best, my baby was born at 36 week my choice absolutely fine no problem at all
I was on it in my last pregnancy and my daughter is 2 nearly 3 baby was born at 36 weeks, I did have steroids injections at 36 weeks to make sure baby would be ok as I was also diabetic.
