Hello and Happy New Year!
My husband and I are hoping to start a family this year and I want to be as healthy as possible and make sure I am taking everything that I need to.
I went to see my DSN and she said to take 5mg folic acid which I have now been taking for 2 months. I have also seen that some of you take Pregnacare. I have just been to Tescos and picked up the pre-conception one - is this okay to take? It has 400ug of folic acid in it and I don’t want to take it if I end up taking too much!
I’ve also started taking fish oils with 680mg EPA, 270mg DHA and 1.85mg vitamin E. Is it okay to continue with this?
Any pre-conception advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
