Hi ladies, i have been taking GNC prenatal mutli vitamins before conceiving with 1000mcg of folic acid. i am currently 4 to 5 weeks pregnant and the gynae prescribed me another 5mg = 5000mcg of folic acid. Would that be too much to take as it will sum up to 6000mcg of folic acid and i read online that the maximum daily intake for pregnant ladies should be kept at 1000mcg? Appreciate if any experienced mummies can advise.
