Hi there,I have understood your concern and and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
Please do not panic about the non consumption of folic acid tablets.
Your treating doctor has rightly suggested you to take Folic acid supplementation. It's useful for the growth and development of the early pregnancy.
It helps to prevent neural development defects and promotes healthy new cell development.
As such there is no harm if you have missed out on Folic acid supplementation. In my opinion you can very well start it again. Any folic acid supplementation containing 5 mg of the vitamin can be continued during pregnancy.
In later part of pregnancy it helps in red blood cells and hemoglobin formation. It is also known to decrease various complications during pregnancy and delivery.
Please also opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits, vegetables and salads in daily diet. Avoid refined sugars,deep fried foods and bakery products.
Meditate regularly.
Think positive.
May God bless you with a bundle of Joy.
I hope this answer helps you
Thanks.

Tab folvite mainly folic acid is to be taken for the 1st trimester that is up to 14 weeks. But for the rest of your pregnancy you need to take iron tablets at least for 100 days or throughout pregnancy if possible.
