Hi ladies,
I'm taking a long shot here but hoping someone can help! I'm 34 weeks pg with my rainbow (we lost our angel baby boy at 23 weeks due to spina bifida). I was taking the high dose folic acid for the first 4 months of this pregnancy and my gp told me I could stop then. At my hospital visit today I was flicking through my notes and noticed that my last bloods showed a high count in MCHC and when I googled it it said that if this is high it could he folate deficiency.
So im wondering if I should be back on the high dose or if it matters at this stage of pregnancy if I'm low in folate? I'm going to ask my gp at my next visit but was just wondering if anyone else has been advised to take the high dose folic acid throughout their pregnancy? Thanks in advance x
