High folic acid recurrent miscarriage & prenatal vitamins
Hi!
I am currently taking high folic acid (5mg) because I had recurrent miscarriages. I just found out I am now pregnant again, any suggestions on which prenatal supplements I can take that do not contain folic acid as I am already on a high dose?
Thank you

I was taking Wild Nutrition Prenatal vitamins. They seem to be okay, no side effects just large capsules. These actually contain folate which is better than folic acid Also, apparently you can not take too much folate or folic acid so I wouldn’t worry about a high dosage.
I had been wondering the same question as miscarriage nurse recommended I have 5mg folic acid as a prenatal. I stopped my usual prenatal & took the 5mg with vitamin D. Did you find it gave you any symptoms like acid reflux or chest pain? xx
@Emma nothing at all, no side effects

It’s safe to take the high dose folic acid and a multi vitamin containing the low dose too
