Do you take folic acid all the way through your pregnancy ?, I only was told to take it 12 weeks when I had my little boy but that was 4 years ago I have seen people say you now have to take it all the way through ? xx

The first trimester is the critical time to take it because of spina bifida, but you can carry on if you want to. It's recommended to take vitamin D throughout, or a pregnancy multivitamin which will have that in.
