I have discovered I am pregnant! I have
been taking folic acid which a friend gave
to me for the last two months. However, I
have only just noticed (!) that the date
of expiry was 09/07. Are they invalid and
will it will it harm baby in anyway?

Current medical status: Pregnant
Current medical treatment: Taking Folic
acid
It is fortunate that those folic acid
pills were only vitamins and not active
medicines. They are probably invalid but
it seems likely that they couldn’t cause
any damage to the fetus.
You may want to consult your gynecologist
about this.
