It is absolutely okay to take Folic acid tablets during all months of pregnancy. In fact they can be continued upto a month after delivery.

Its most essential medication during 1st trimester ( ie 1st 3 months) and 12 weeks before conception.
However some gynecologists prescribe DHA tablets which contain little amounts of folic acid and pyridoxine.
You can take it along with those tablets.
Next Steps
Any further query consult your gynecologist.
