Yes, do start now! You can get folid acid from Guardian Pharmacy if your gynae appointment is still some time away! :)

Yes. It is recommended to start taking folic acid before you are even pregnant, when you are trying to conceive.

U should start taking it already I’m on my 5th weeks too . Can get it at the nearest gp dr

sure. thanks for the advice sis

Made my first visit to the Doc at 5weeks 0day and they gave me folic acid (sup). I think you begin right away

Congratulation to you.. actually u can already start taking folic acid.. You can get blackmores folic acid

Can i take folic acid even without the prescription of an ob-gyne?

Yes! Some women take it months before pregnancy. I took mine at 5 weeks when I found out I was pregnant.

You can start anytime when you plan to conceive. So once conceive you should be taking already ☺️

My gynae advised to start taking folic acid when trying to conceive until before we give birth.
