Folic Acid
Hi there, would like to know if I should start eating folic acid? I am in my 5th week have not seen a doc yet.

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
I am 5 weeks and I have seen a doc but the doctor did not prescribe me the folic acid. wat should I do.
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.
