can I have folic acid and middle of 8th month

A. Yes, you can take folic acid during the 8th month of pregnancy if your doctor recommends it. Folic acid is essential throughout pregnancy for both maternal health and fetal development. It helps in the production of red blood cells and reduces the risk of birth defects like spina bifida. However, typically, the need for folic acid decreases after the first trimester since the neural tube (which develops into the brain and spinal cord) is already formed. If your doctor has advised you to continue taking it, especially during later stages of pregnancy, it's important to follow that guidance. Make sure to always check with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements to ensure they are appropriate for your individual needs.
