Hi Moment,

Folic acid good during 1st 3mths (formation stage). However, I still continue taking after that. No harm to baby, don't worry.

I took it in my first trimester, but like many mummies, I will continue with it into my 2nd trimester until I finished what I had.

Hi Moment,

I've been taking iron + folic acid since 2007 n I nv stop taking it. Folic acid is highly essential for brain development ESP during e 1st tri. But iron n folic acid (oso known s Vit B9) is essential for formation of our red blood cells. Which means everydays needs. Tats y I nv stop my intake. Even nw, my baby has started her supplements when she Is 3mths but I crush into powdered form n add to my breastmilk in her every feeding. Cos her PD said mux take supplements worh
