When did you stop taking folic acid/multi vitamins

[kirstyblue]

Hi,

I am now 14 weeks pregnant. Should I continue taking the vitamins? When did you stop? I thought it was just for the first 12 weeks but the midwife never really said when to stop..

Thanks in advance x

I took them throughout pregnancy.

Hi Kirsty! I was told I could stop taking folic acid at 13 weeks but should continue with vitamin d throughout pregnancy and during breastfeeding. I don’t think it’s harmful to keep taking folic acid so for now am just continuing with pregnacare original as I still have some left and that contains vitamin d. Hope all is going well for you 😊 xx

I took them all the way through pregnancy x

I wish I could stop taking supplements been on them for more than 2 full length pregnancies, I’m not even sure I think it’s after 12 weeks but then there’s pregnancy multi vits so they’re to be taken throughout and contain folic acid so can carry on taking them best ask your midwife.

Hi, we went through ec at the same time! Glad to see it has worked out well for both of us! I am currently 26 weeks and have been told by the midwife to keep taking it all the way through. My midwife gave me a supply to last the duration of my pregnancy.

Thank you all. I will definitely carry on taking them them then. They are the seven seas multi vitamins with folic acid, vitamin d in x
