Accepted Answer

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. There will be no issues in Baby growth. Please take healthy diet. you can eat dry fruits with honey. Also eat eggs and chicken and take chicken soup. You can also take vegetables soup. Please take lots of green vegetables and dairy products and soaked almonds on daily basis. Please eat iron and calcium rich food items and avoid maida or oily or outside food items. Continue with the supplements as suggested by your gynaecologist.  
Thanks and take care

Answer

Do not worry and if any doubt you better ask your gynac as he / she knows your medical history

Answer

if you have not taken Folic acid till date you don't need to actually take it now and after first trimester it is not useful to take you can just take Iron and Calcium supplement and increase your nutrition through diet properly
