I've been really diligent taking the pregnacare with folic acid, in the run up to conception (IVF) and through pregnancy.
Am 13 weeks today and now know my mum had a tfmr as the baby would have had multiple severe issues including downs and spina bifida (just knew about the downs).
I've had NHS tests and Harmony which both came out low risk for downs plus 12+4 scan looked good but now I'm panicking that spina bifida isn't usually identified until the 20 week scan and that maybe I should have been on the higher dose of folic acid rather than just pregnacare and now it's too late as I'm just past the first trimester....
Will call the midwife on Monday but grateful for any advice.
