Folic acid

6 replies

RoosGuest ·
Hi,

Lately I keep forgetting whether I've taken my folic acid. So then I want to take it anyway, but I'm afraid I've already taken it. So should I skip it or is it better to take an extra dose? Forgetting is probably just part of pregnancy...

    Try to establish a fixed routine, for example at breakfast.
    Set the table in the evening and lay out 1 pill.

    Buying a daily pill box helps!

    Every morning at breakfast. Make it part of your routine. I think missing one day wouldn't be such a big deal. Better not take it twice a day.

    With Davitamon you get folic acid that looks like your pill strip, with days, super easy to keep track of.

    I take those too! I think it costs a tenner for 12 weeks?

    I forget about it sometimes too, but I thought taking an extra pill wouldn't do any harm. For people at increased risk of spina bifida, a higher dose is recommended, so it should be fine.
