Do/did you take extra frolic acid?

I'm going to ask my Dr about it, but I read with twins you need more frolic acid than what is in a prenatal. Opinions?

    I didn't. I just took a regular prenatal.

    My doctor gave me a prescription for 1mg extra folic acid to take along with my pre natal.

    I was about to post this same question! my prenatal vitamin only has 800 mcg of folic acid so I am adding a folic acid only vitamin that is 400 mcg...is that still not enough though?

    My doc has me take an additional 1200 mg of folic acid in addition to the 800 contained in my multivitamin for a total of 1200

    Yes, my doctors had me on extra folic acid during my ivf treatments and once I was pregnant with twins, they bumped it up some more on top of my prenatals.

    I do not.  My docor said the prenatal alone is fine.

    D & L are here at 34 weeks 4 days by vaginal and breech delivery on 11/19/2013
    Two healthy boys weighing 4 lbs 15 ozs and 4 lbs 5 ozs.  Only 6 days in the NICU and getting bigger, stronger and cuter every day!

    I took an extra gram, on top of my prenatals.

    Also, love that folic turned into frolic. (Autocorrect, I assume.) Sounds so much more fun that way!
