Asking for Self, Female, 30 years old, Lahore
AOA. Hope you all are doing great! I am finally tested positive after 3 and a half year of my marriage. So far, no history of miscarriage. Its my very first time I concieved. But I have a history of irregular periods and missed periods So as usual I didnot give attention and took it as missed periods. MY due date was 15th of May and first day of last menstrual cycle is 16th of April. As per count I am in 7th week of pregnancy. I just found it out yesterday and today I have started folic acid 5mg (ZAFA). But now I am worried about neural defects as neural tube would already be formed. Am I too late for folic acid?? Also I will be having appointment 2mrw with gynaecologist. Also I will go for ultrasound 2mrw. Will we able to assess heartbeat???
Assalam o Alaikum
Nothing can be done even if it\'s late. You are taking high dose when you don\'t need it
wasalamzz. it never too late to start folic acid so continue it and yes you should go for scan and acc to your dates fetus heartbeat can be assessed
yes but not confirmed.it depends upon growth of fetus.
