Hi I'm in my second trimester and I still continue drinking my folic and I added some chicken essence to my daily routine since drinking chicken essence in second trimester can help the development of the baby and regain my energy since I'm always tired and sleep... Im drinking the Yudian chicken essence since it tasted better than other brands plus no other ingredients included only pure chicken.. you can also try too :))
I was given multivitamins and fish oil and was told to stop folic and ate the multivitamins and fish oil once I reach week 13. The multivitamins already contains folic acid so no need to continue eating folic acid when I asked the pharmacist.
After 12 weeks, it is up to you stop or continue taking it. But, it is not harmful to have folic acid. For me I stop at 15 weeks (I remember correctly) and I took Obumin with Fish Oil till my due date.
