Low folic acid

So 4 weeks ago I had blood tests at the hospital I had no idea I was pregnant at the time and they did my bloods I waited for them to tell me my results but they never came a week past and I found out I was most likely 4weeks pregnant. I was so excited and now today 3 weeks the bloods they rang me and told me I have low folic acid and that I shouldn’t conserve but I explained I was already pregnant. So now I’m worried out my mind because for 3 weeks I had low folic acid and there was no way of me mowing I am 6weeks +4 days pregnant what is the damage that’s done I’m so worried I’m in leases please please please help me

When do you start taking your vitamins? To be fair they do advise take before becoming pregnant but if you’re not trying what can you do. I think as long as you started taking them when you found out you should be ok hopefully

I have low folic acid too and have been given a higher dose by my doctor, I’ve always had low folic acid and vitamin D level levels so I’m taking both in pregnancy and everything has been okay so far 🤞🏻

@Shaianne I did take my vitamins before and I still am but it’s just the fact I didn’t know about the baby and then I could have caused my baby some damage to my baby due to low folic acid I’m so scared thank you for the optimism I hope so I have an emergency doctors appointment today so fingers crossed my baby is okay xx

@Heather okay this has given me some hope thank you so much and I hope your pregnancy goes okay hun x

@Sammy thank you! Second baby and it was low the first time round to just to give you a little more hope xx
