Should you stop folic acid because of fibroids in pregnancy?
Folic acid does NOT make fibroids grow.
Fibroids do not feed on folic acid. They feed on hormones and that is the reason why they may become bigger in pregnancy and tend to shrink during menopause.
Please, ensure that you take your folic acid so as to ensure your baby has no neural tube (spinal cord) defects and be sure that your pregnancy is properly supervised by your doctor/medical team.
