Which cereals and fruit juices are rich in folic acid?

I couldn't take it when I was pregnant - upset my tummy too much so I just took prenatal vitamins prescribed by the doctor. As for cereals and fruit juices, can't help you there - only fruit juice I drink is grapefruit juice, and that's not an every day thing, and I'm not much a cereal eater although I do love oatmeal!

I take centrum and it has folic acid. I too take it 'just in case'.....you never can be too careful.....

I have Centrum Performance in my purse and I try to take it everyday, but I usually forget. I am good about taking my daily pills that I take in the morning, but I'm scared if I take the vitamin with those AM pills, that it will interfere with my birth control pill. So, I try to wait until later in the day to take my Centrum, which has my folic acid regimine in it. But I usually forget.

Aaahh....birth control pills....you just reminded me....I'm sooooo scared of taking them again They don't make you sick?! Oh, and I usually forget to take my Centrum too.... I leave it next to the sink so that I'll remember to take it in the morning with my water.... but I dunno, mornings are rushed

Well, I'm now 23 and I've been taking birth control pills since I was 15, so I'm very used to them now. But when I first started taking them, yes, I would get very nauseous at the same time every single day. But now, they don't even phase me. I put all my pills in my purse and when I get to work every morning I take them. You're supposed to take the "pill" at the same time everyday. I always go to bed at different times and sometimes we go out at night so it is easier for me to take them in the mornings. I'm just don't want my Centrum counteracting my birth control pills so I really want to take it at a different time during the day.
