Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I just bought my folic acid at the pharmacy 800 MCG daily and when I went for my first OB appt. I brought him a list of everything I took and he was okay with it and added the prenatals. God Bless, Robin, NorthEastern, NY EDD- July 27th, 2004 IT'S A BOY!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks so much for the welcomes and for sharing your stories with me! Toi, I swear I remember you from some other group - gastric bypass family maybe? Anyway, I'm wondering if those of you who take folic acid just buy it or if it is prescription. Thanks so much for having this group, the awesome information and for sharing your personal experiences!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I should have added that was before trying to get pregnant and during my pregnancy. I don't take any now (not until I decide whether or not we are going to try for #3). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Its a distinct possibility that you say me on the family site. I haven't posted there in a while, but still read. I get my folic acid over the counter at Walmart. I take one 800 mcg and one 400 mcg per day. Toi > Thanks so much for the welcomes and for sharing your stories with > me!
