Hi to all mummies, pls help. My wife is about 7 weeks pregnant. Went to see gynae 2 weeks ago at KK but gynae no good. Anyway she prescribed 5mg folic acid for 2 months. I read online that only 400 mcg needed daily and 5mg is about 5000 mcg. Some articles also said that too much folic acid causes autism. So now my wife took only 1/4 tablet and also new obimin tablet. Pls advise is it ok? And also which prenatal vitamins will u recommend? Because still have 2 more weeks to see doc, dunno who to seek advice at the moment. Thk u so much.
