Hi folks.
I’m 4+4 weeks pregnant and know I need to start taking folic acid supplements. Anyone got any ideas which to get there so many to choose from!! This is my first pregnancy and I’ve no idea what I’m doing 😂 don’t see my midwife till next Tuesday but feel like I should probably start before then. Thanks!

You should start now yes. I always just used wellwoman but I’m sure folic acid is acid! Good luck and congratulations 🤗

Oops... any folic acid is folic acid I mean.

The neural tube is formed in the first 3 weeks, so if you are 4+4 from your last period you should start them today. Any basic folic acid supplement will do. Go to a pharmacy today and pick something up.
