Potentially not been taking enough folic acid?

I’m nine weeks pregnant and about two or three weeks ago I switched from the normal pregnacare multivitamins to the pregnacare max with omega 3. I’ve had HG and between feeling so crappy I didn’t realise you’re meant to take two of the pregnacare max tablets a day, when you only have to take one of the standard tablets.
I think I’ve only been having about half the recommended folic acid dose now for a couple of weeks and am so upset with myself and not sure what to do now.

Please try not to worry OP. There's plenty of women who don't know they're pregnant and don't take any! I have HG too and there was many days I couldn't keep my vitamins down at all. I'm 15 weeks now and everything looks fine.

@gherkin14 1 tablet still provides a lot and also I imagine you have bene getting some through diet e.g. fortified cereal/ bread and leafy greens/ broccli etc

And as PP says, some women don't take any!
