I'm sure one will make no difference. How many weeks are you?

WigWamBam · 13/09/2007 20:17

No, it won't harm the baby. Please relax and stop worrying.

Jazzicatz · 13/09/2007 20:17

No it will not effect the baby at all.

TinyGang · 13/09/2007 20:17

It will be just fine. Don't worry.

MaryAnnSingleton · 13/09/2007 20:17

no, please don't worry !

lulumama · 13/09/2007 20:17

oh my goodness me, of course it will not !
it is a supplement, so adding it your diet can really help, but missing one dose will not do any harm
folic acid is also in some foods, and cereals, so if you eat a good balanced diet, then you are getting folic acid
you should try to take it from TTC to the end of the first trimester, but missing one tablet will not cause any harm at all.

hope that helps

it won't harm your baby. you need to relax, being so stressed isn't good for you or the baby

TigerFeet · 13/09/2007 20:18

It won't make any difference whatsoever

Relax and enjoy your pregnancy

i missed LOTS with this pg. had my 13 weeks scan today and everything looks ok

funnypeculiar · 13/09/2007 20:18

One tablet won't make any difference - go & put your feet up instead

RibenaBerry · 13/09/2007 20:18

You'll be fine. Don't worry in the slightest.

Just think how many people don't take it at all, or don't realise that they're pregnant until late on or whatever. Just think of it as being a great thing to do for your baby that you take it, not beat yourself up for missing one.

Go and eat something really nutritious to make yourself feel all good again. Big vegetable stir fry or something...

i stopped taking mine last week as i thought i was 12 weeks, turns out i might be a week behind. so ive missed a whole week! one tablet wont make any difference

ipodtherforipoor · 14/09/2007 11:50

I missed all of them! Most common foods seem to be supplemented anyway - specially for dumbassess like me who dont realise they are pregnant

Blandmum · 14/09/2007 11:55

I'm sure it will make no difference at all

Stefka · 14/09/2007 11:58

I wouldn't worry at all. I went in to hospital early in pregnancy and they didn't give me a pill - I also forgot a couple of times. You'll be fine
