I am 24, 43kg .I am 8 weeks pregnent.My gynaecologist prescribed me folic acid 5 mg tablets twice daily.i took it for 22 days. Now I read that this is much excess dose of folic acid and such dose causes autism and other diseases in foetus. I am much worried and in guilt. Will this cause such defects to my baby. Please help. I am very much frustrated. I have follow up after 16 weeks now.so please help.i s my baby safe
