I am 11 weeks pregnant. Should I stop taking folic acid?

Hello, I am 11 weeks pregnant and I was wondering if I should continue the folic acid supplement? I have read on several websites that it is recommended to stop at 10 weeks. I would like to have a confirmation.

Hello ma'am, what dose are you currently taking? Is it prescribed or taken over the counter?

Over the counter. These are 1mg tablets.

Thanks for the feedback!

You can continue throughout your pregnancy without any problem!

Sincerely,
