Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
Brief answer: Yes,it is recommended to take.
Detailed answer:According to me,there is no harm,rather considered beneficial in taking 4 to 5 mg folic acid supplement daily especially if suspected to be a high risk pregnancy,as your treating doctor prescribed particularly 2-3 months prior to conception and during first few weeks of pregnancy to prevent possible fetal developmental anomalies etc. Hope this information helps you.If any further questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
