Folic acid supplementation doesn't do anything once you've already conceived. I'm actually surprised it continues to be recommended during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. I mean it won't hurt anything, and I imagine the reasoning is more that it'll protect the next pregnancy if this one doesn't work out and they don't want to confuse consumers, but to have any benefit it needs to be taken for at least 2 months prior to the pregnancy and every day. If that's your plan then by all means keep taking it. But don't overdo it.
Please back that one up with documentation.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
