i have just realised this morning I have forgotten to take my follic acid for the last week. That will be the whole of my 7th week of pregnancy. Does anyone know what impact that can have?

Hi lovely, congrats on your pregnancy! I’m no doctor but there are ladies who have not known they are pregnant for weeks so won’t have taken folic acid so I am sure you are fine. I used to set alarms for any tablets or leave it on top of the cereal boxes or whatever you have for breakfast so you will see it and can take once you have had breakfast xx

Thank you that's a great idea and the cereal box. And of course some people won't know that there are pregnant, thank you. I was just in a panic. X

Don’t worry about it! If your taking a prenatal you have folic acid in that. But if not just start taking them again xx

Hi Yellow. If you are taking a pre prergnancy multivitamin and eating well you should be covered. Just carry on with them now you have realised. Diane
