Fumiko,
so surprise to see ppl write that in stomp. actually i can feel that those without family (with kids) they wont understand. last time my bil also kind of say (scold) my hb that he did not plan properly about bb care issue, etc etc, ended up everything in a mess for my girl.
in fact, he did not know that even if we plan it out well, the plan also went haywire de. nanny last min dun wan to take care then i have to change plan mah.
now he has a kid, he understands more. so i think it is from experience bah.
AhNah, all gynae will say stop folic acid.
however, i still take (anyway i take less in 1st tri cause i kept vomit).
I read that bb's brains are developing in very fast rate in 2nd tri and 3rd tri as well. so having folic acid is also good to help brain development. not too much, just 1 a day will do (sometimes forget nevermind). i just continue.
this folic acid helps to make the brain cells duplicates, right?
i am not sure, but i did that for my girl, it seems alright.
but if we ask gynae, they surely say NO NEED de.
