Too much intake of folic acid

Hi! I'm a first time mom here and curious lang ako. Makakasama ba kay baby if almost 2 months ako nakapagtake ng folic acid at nag-start lang ako mag-take when I was already in my 4th month? Hindi ko kase alam na buntis ako since wala akong symptoms. Hindi ko rin alam na pinapalitan pala yung tine-take na vitamins ng Ob kase akala ko once maubos, pwedeng bumili na lang kahit walang prescription. Nabasa ko kase, too much intake of folic acid might harm the baby so as a first time mom, worried po talaga ako. I hope somebody can help and answer my question. Thank you!

Ay, don't worry mama, two months of folic acid won't harm your baby, kaya ka talaga nag-worry for nothing! Folic acid is actually water-soluble, so ang excess ay naturally napupunta lang sa urine mo, hindi nag-accumulate sa body like fat-soluble vitamins kaya hindi siya dangerous even sa higher amounts. A few of us moms din nag-start ng folic acid late or had that same worry, pero lahat ng babies namin okay lang, so I'm sure yours will be too! Still, para sa peace of mind mo and para malaman kung ano exactly ang baby needs now at 4+ months, I'd say check with your OB sa next visit para ma-guide mo lang properly moving forward, yan ang ginawa ko kase first time mom anxiety talaga is real, haha!
