I have been taking slightly increased amounts of folic acid since my pregnancy was confirmed at 4 weeks. I take about 1800 mg a day (2x 500mg of folic acid plus elevit), so not huge doses but still more than average. I had an unexplained m/c last year so my FS and I thought it wouldn't do any harm to take a bit extra.

Anyway, have been wondering if it's worthwhile continuing on with the folic acid or if I should just cut back to the elevit? Are there any benefits in continuing it? I kind of remember reading that it can help with placental function?? Or did I make that up somewhere along the lines??
