hi, thanx for the query,
folvite is given in pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects. it should ideally be started before conception.
but since you havent taken it till 12 wks, its ok now. get a sonography done at 22 wks for anomalies.
there is no harm in taking folic acid in consecutive wks.
I find this answer helpful
