When should I take folic acid if I am pregnant or planning a pregnancy?

The NHS advises taking a folic acid supplement for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you are planning a pregnancy, the NHS advises starting before you get pregnant, ideally 3 months before. Folic acid helps a baby's brain, skull and spinal cord develop properly and reduces the risk of serious conditions such as spina bifida.

Is 400µg the right dose for me?

Some women who are pregnant, or planning a pregnancy, need a higher dose than others. The NHS advises checking with a pharmacist, midwife or doctor if you are not sure which dose applies to you.
