Went to my first midwife appointment today. All was lovely except the weighing part! They said I'd have to start taking 5mg of folic acid due to being classed as obese 😭🙄 I already take an all in one pregnancy vitamin from sainsburys, do I take that in addition to the 5mg I've been prescribed? I can't remember what they told me, they were spitting loads of information at me I don't think I retained that part!

Off to eat a salad and go for a walk 😭 (not really I had a nap)

Yes 😊! I asked the same question to my consultant and he said your body will just turn any excess into waste essentially so all good to take both!

@clouise30 Oh fantastic, I'm glad I don't have to find a different vitamin to take because this one seems to suit me.
I also completely forgot to pick up the prescription today even though the pharmacy is two steps away from the doctors, so I'll do that tomorrow!
Thank you!
