I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have been taking my daily dose of folic acid since I found out nearly 5 weeks ago. I have heard different reports on when to stop taking it- most seem to say stop at 12 weeks but I have also read that it's recommended to take it for longer. My GP gave me a prescrption for 56, which confused me even more! I'm also a bit unsure of exact dates because my cycle was never 28 days long (sometimes 5 or six weeks so this may mean that I'm not really 11 weeks, although bulging bump seems to support the 11 week theory!) so don't know if this means that I should take it for longer to make sure I keep taking it till 12 weeks! Does anybody know/ have experience of this? Sorry if this is a bit confusing but I seem to be rambling on a bit lately...
