Low folic acid 4 weeks pregnant

[Anxiousannie12344]

Hi I need advice please as I am freaking out!!!

I found out I’m pregnant a few days ago and a day later I got blood results showing 1.2 folic deficiency. I am now on 5mg folic acid and I am currently 21 days post conception.

I am so scared my baby will have defects now and it will be my fault, please someone help

Don't panic! Folic acid doesn't stop birth defects it just reduces the risk. Women get by without even knowing they're pregnant and babies are fine so just take it from now (along with vitamin D if you aren't taking any other supplements, those were the only 2 I took) and enjoy your pregnancy! Congrats
