HI.

1. Folic acid will have an effect, not a side effect. It will prevent major birth defects falling under the category of neural tube defects, so please do not even think of discontinuing this supplement

2. Endogest is a form of progesterone, and it is a pregnancy supporting drug which has been prescribed to you because of the bleeding you had early on. The bleeding means yours could be a threatened pregnancy, and the progesterone in endogest will help prevent that miscarriage from taking place

3. No side effect of any ultrasound what so ever on the developing fetus

4. Ultrasound is usually conducted at least once every month during pregnancy, but has to be conducted more often during the last trimester

5. You can take the folic acid (which is the vitamin/pre-natal supplement) throughout your pregnancy

Best wishes.
