Folic acid supplementation is advised till 12 weeks of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects (type of anomaly)in baby.
If you are taking ample green leafy vegetables and fruits and Vit B12 rich diet on day to day basis, there is no need for this tablet now.
Next Steps
Continue with Iron and calcium supplements
