Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this topic! I have been taking folate since I started TTC 4 months ago now, I think they are 500mg. The recommended is 400mg so am I getting too much of the folate? My bottle is nearly empty so will be getting some more.

Liz - that is an interesting read on the children's asthma risk linked to the folic acid taken in late pregnancy. It would make sense that there is no need to take as much folic acid once the baby is fully developed?

I do like the idea of taking 1 vitamin a week, just incase I am deficient in something. I am going to stick to a healthy diet and this should be enough.
How much calcium and iron is recommended in pregnancy?
