Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to Ask a doctor panel,
Please do not worry at all, 2 folic acid tabs accidentally taken will not harm the fetus at all. Its safe in pregnancy and occasional double dose doesn't harm the baby.
However , continue the folic acid 5mg from next day as once a day dosage regularly as per antenatal advise by your doctor. folic acid is to be continued for next 2 weeks till 14 weeks of gestation, then iron and calcium supplementation would be added.
I hope this helps,
wishing you good health,
Regards
