Moms who took folic acid
Hello! I hope this is okay to ask here but I was curious to know how your pregnancy went, and how your baby is doing if you took folic acid during your pregnancy? Is your baby healthy?
I have been losing my mind over folic acid vs methylfolate because all of the popular supplement brands like ritual, needed, Thorne, etc all have methylfolate instead of folic acid.
I actually did test for the MTHFR gene and nothing was detected so I think I should be fine? I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing for my baby!
I’m just so nervous because almost everyone I know is taking prenatals with methylfolate. I also plan to ask my OB once I get an appointment but thought I’d also ask here first.
And I know correlation does not equal causation but I wanted to ask if you did take folic acid, how is your baby doing now? And if you took specifically nature made prenatal folic acid + DHA ?
Thank you!
