Hi,
Ideally, folic acid is to be taken as the pregnancy is diagnosed or even before preparing for a pregnancy. You can still start it in the third month.
Folinext D has folic acid and DHA, both are essential for the growing fetus and the mother. You can continue to take it.
Do not be scared.
Hope I have answered your query.
