Hello everyone

I'm in my thirties and may be pregant but I'm worried because I was not taking folic acid. Did anyone find themselves in the same situation. Thanks for any replies.

I wouldn't worry too much though. I couldn't take folic acid as I have a problem taking tablets. Just make sure you eat foods that contain folic acid. I found out that Ovaltine contains plenty of folic acid and iron!

I only started to take folic acid when i found out i was pregnant. I was in my mid thirties when i got pregnant. You will be alright.I am assuming that you are taking it now. Look after yourself well. Enjoy your pregnancy.

Hi, i took it for about a week when I first found out I was pregnant, then kept forgetting. I'm now 34 weeks and everything has been fine. I wouldn't worry x

folic acid just a precaution really, i found out when i was 5 weeks pregnant...and it was around xmas so the weeks before I was at xmas parties and just generally going out alot so I was v worried that it may have affected baby. I only started taking folic acid when doc prescribed it at 9 weeks! and my scans show me to be fine! xx

I found out I was pregnanat straight after I missed a period and only started taking it then..

My midwife did not seem concerned by this
