Hi Baby Pike,

Congratulations & WELCOME!! As some of the others have said, it can be overwhelming & scary, even when pregnancies are planned!!

If you're worried about the folate thing, it would be a good idea to chat with your doctor & put your mind at ease (and, yes, start taking a pregnancy supplement with folate). The thing to remember is that folate is to prevent neural tube defects - but the incidence of these is not that high (particularly without genetic history of such defects). So, more than likely, your bub will be fine, even though you haven't taken the folate yet.
