Hi everyone! I’m a little worried because I found out I was pregnant in June 7 and I started taking prenatals on June 12, I’m 5 weeks and 3 days. Will my baby be at risk of NTD? Thank you!

    When I was pregnant with my daughter, I only started taking folic acid after getting a positive test result, about 2 weeks in. All went well. I wouldn't worry about it. Do mention it to your GP though when you next see them.

    In my opinion you’re fine!
    I asked my OBGYN because I am 5weeks & just found out on 6-26. She reassured me that everything is fine and as long as you start taking them now you’ll be okay. She stated that most people don’t know until they test which varies from 4 weeks to about 8weeks.
