Hi and thank you for asking us

Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, it will not affect your pregnancy as long as you continue to take the folic acid during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. As folic acid is important in preventing any spinal development defect.
