Is it safe to double my intake of folic acid?

[Tinker]

Have just been looking up a congenital defect of my mum's (Arnold Chiari syndrome) and see it is a form of spina bifida - I know, I know, you should never look up these things late at night. But since my daughter was born with a sacral dimple I'm wondering should I just bombard myself with folic acid? Will it do any harm? Thanks

I'm an epileptic and my hcg levels were 159 2days ago and today dropped to 152 I'm on 5mgs of folic acid in the morning would it do me any harm if I took an extra one at night ? Please some help I'm so afraid of losing my lil one thank u in advance x

Speak with your GP. Not worth taking the risk and to be fair, we can only advise but we're not doctors. X

chickpea you are already on the highest dose and any additional wont prevent a chemical pregnancy unfortunately. As mouselove says you should speak to your GP

Hi eating plenty of spinach cooked in butter will increase yr folate levels. Tasty too x
