Can I take Folic Acid for pregnancy?
07/22/14 at 08:22:38

I'm pregnant. Grin

I'm excited and nervous.

Most days I've felt well dealing with MCAD with vitamins, amino acids, a nutrient dense diet, etc.

I got pregnant and posted on here that I was ready to apply for disability I felt so awful. LOL. Turns out MCAD wasn't the issue. Cheesy

My vitamin cocktail doesn't include Folic Acid and I can't remember if I left that out for a reason. I'm researching it now and would love any guidance about Folic acid intake for Mcad or general pregnancy issues related to mcad.

Thank you!

Congratulations MastoGem! Is this your first baby? I have 3 girls, but didn't have MCAS issues at that time, so I don't have much advice for you in that area Undecided

If you tolerate supplements well, I would think any folic acid would be good--just maybe try to find one with the fewest fillers. If you can eat cereal, it has a lot of folic acid in it (folic acid is MOST important in the first few months of pregnancy). Did you find one you can take yet? Most prenatals should have folic acid in them now, right?
