I just went to the docs to get my blood
test done and I was like "i took two urine
tests and they were both positive, what
are the chance of the blood test being
negative?" and she laughed at me!
Laughed! So I guess I really am pregnant
and I have to book my first ultrasound
tomorrow. It's still shocking. The nurse
told me to eat a lot of foods with folic
acids until I see my doctor and get
vitamins and stuff. What kind of foods
contain folic acid?

First off, .Congrats on your pregnancy.
Second of all, dark leafy greens, dry
beans, strawberries, oranges (fresh orange
juice) and breakfast cereals are a few.
I'm sure you will find plenty more if you
search 'folic acid' online somewhere.
Good luck.

Like .Mandi said, dark green, certain
fruits, orange juice.. Lots of cereals
have a lot of folic acid in them.. I also
took a folic acid supplement just to be
sure .I was getting enough!

Ya just go and buy some folic acid
vitamins. I still find it so odd that
you guys get your docs to precribe the
pre-natals. We just buy 'em and the
folic acid off the shelf here. We don't
wait for the doc to tell us. Lol

Yeah i'm a vegetarian so I already eat a
whole bunch of fruits and veggies, but
yesterday I bought an over the counter
vitamin called materna. It already has
folic acid in it. I live in canada so I
dont know if anywhere else your doctor
prescribes prenatals. In ontario we have
a wide variety at drugstores and stores
like walmart. Congrats on the pregnancy!
