Doctor, i am 19wks pregnant & aside my intake of pregnacare which contains 400mcg, i take in additional fersolate tablet & 5mg folic acid. is it okay?

1 mg : What you are taking is fine but unless you have had a baby with a previous neural tube defect or are on antiepileptic drugs you do not need the extra 5 mg Folic Acid pill. 1 mg per day is enough.
