I just rang the Blackmores hotline and it was really just a waste of time! I guess they can't tell you want to do. I can't even remember what she said now. Something about doing all this in conjunction with the government and that's the dose they were told to recommend and she said something about how it hasn't been looked at since 1988.

Weird.

So she said I could take more if I wanted. She said some vitamins have up to 800mcg per day and even more. And I said yes I realised that (ie Elevit).

And she just mentioned asking my GP etc.

So basically it's up to me! I think I'll take 1 Folate tablet and 1 P&B (700mcg) every day until my Folate runs out. Then I'll take 2 P&B every day for the rest of my pregnancy.
