but folic acid wouldn’t make much of a difference anymore. its only beneficial early in the pregnancy. it should be taken prior to conception and upto at least 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. because it helps with neural tube defects and thats completed by 10th week post-conception. it doesn’t hurt to take it but its not the one she most definitely needs at the moment.

you’re right, sorry my mind totally ignored the 20 weeks part for some reason. actually, that late in the game, is anything really needed? like a good parasite, the fetus will take whatever else it needs, right? i’d been taking folic acid prior to getting pregnant (and in the first trimester) and that was all my ob seemed to care about.
i guess i’m getting calcium in the form of TUMS for my raging acid reflux
