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

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

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
