Wishing you all the best with that. In my next pg, I will be on Folgard (possibly the same folic acid supplement you will be on?) among other things like blood thinners. It was discovered that I have a blood-clotting disorder (even though it didn't affect my daughter or Hayes, we do not believe) and I operate at a possible deficiency with absorbing folic acid, so even though I've been lucky to escape spina bifida and other problems that might have resulted, I am thankful to know we can hopefully prevent any problems in the future, too.Molly Ebachhttp://everythingebach.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985288635111425215.post-54937196340265721552011-06-20T14:01:14.399-08:002011-06-20T14:01:14.399-08:00Found your blog from Kelly's.

I look forward to getting to know you through your posts.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595162141360224721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985288635111425215.post-34248516239970399682011-06-19T17:41:03.628-08:002011-06-19T17:41:03.628-08:00You have me thinking a lot about folic acid and wh...You have me thinking a lot about folic acid and what I'll be doing differently in my next pregnancy. A bit more can't hurt, right? Perhaps I'll look into eating some of that cereal in my next pregnancy for at least the first month. Problem is, don't few women know they're pregnant for at least 14 of those days? Looks like I'll just have to eat more anyway. :) Thanks for the education.B.

I didn't realize tomatoes had folic acid in them(that probably sounds stupid), but that's great. I've been craving tomatoes and eating them like crazy lately(when I'm not nauseous that is), lol. Thanks for posting this :) Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!!*Lauren*https://www.blogger.com/profile/01350284828027444174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985288635111425215.post-18189992104452243522011-06-17T13:56:01.901-08:002011-06-17T13:56:01.901-08:00Ah you are awesome!

I love this post and am so happy that you are upping the Folic Acid. I bought Total cereal when I was pregnant so I would get extra Iron because I was anemic. Something else I read that I am obsessed with is getting enough Lycopene (found in tomatoes and ketchup) because I read it cuts the risk of Pre-eclampsia by like 80%. Good luck!!LookItsJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098271882501686853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985288635111425215.post-21353015308670081302011-06-17T12:31:13.605-08:002011-06-17T12:31:13.605-08:00I might have to try this cereal!
