    High dose FA

    Hi all I am taking 5mg of folic acid at the moment and I have probably another 2weeks left in the bottle I have. Do you think it is safe to move to the usual dose at about 6 weeks? I think the nucal fold is formed by then.

    Thanx
    Tanya

    Out of my mind. Back in five minutes...

    I personally stuck with the 5mg until after the 12wk scan, as was suggested by my GP... I had no real reason for taking the higher dose, but felt better to be safe... After that I just got to FA from my pg vitamins.

    Hey Tanya

    I took the higher dose with Ashton all through my pregnancy, but that was cause of my genetic disorder.
