A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Folic acid is taken only in first few weeks of pregnancy. It depends upon the condition of the mother. If your gynaecologist has recommended to stop it, then it is advisable to follow your doctor’s advise. Continue with other iron supplements as suggested by your gynaecologist. Thanks and take care
