Hi, I’ve been prescribed 5mg folic acid by my midwife (I’m 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant, early appointment.)
I’ve been prescribed 5mg because of my BMI is higher, my diet isn’t the best as I’m a really fussy eater (not something I can help.) I’ve started to add fruit smoothies to my diet, I’m eating spinach, kale and broccoli now too so added veg too which is a great turning point for me. I eat the recommended meat and carbs and also dairy products I’m just afraid that I’m not getting enough vitamins though for the baby and I was wondering did anyone ever take 5mg folic acid and a pregnancy vit that had 400mcg folic acid in too? My midwife said it was okay but my doctor said it wasn’t so I’m not too sure.
Don’t judge me I just want some advice on what other people did thanks.

Prescribed 5mg folic acid, save to take pregnancy vitamins too that contain folic acid?
