We are thinking of trying for baby #2 in 6 months time, my first baby was born with a sacral dimple (can be linked to spina bifida but luckily she’s doing great and no concerns). I was told that my body doesn’t absorb enough folic acid even though I took it during my first pregnancy and was told if we were to have another child to take high dose folic acid via prescription 3 months before conception.
Has anyone taken the high dose? Is it ok to take it for a lengthy amount of time in case we don’t get pregnant straight away? I’ve made an appointment with my GP but it isn’t until the end of the month.
