Could anyone please advise?
I am type 1 diabetic and recently found out I am pregnant. Since about September I had been taking 5mg of folic acid but about June time I started taking Proceive supplements so GP said I didn't need to take 5mg folic acid. Im stressing as my diabetic nurse told me I should still have been taking them and how critical it was for baby. I guess my question is has any other type 1 mums not took folic acid or a lower dose and everything with baby had been ok? I will add i have now started taking the higher dose again?
Thanks
A worried and stressed mummy
