I'm 5 weeks pregnant for the first time (just found out 2 nights ago) and will be starting prenatals tonight. The issue is, I didn't know I was supposed to be taking folic acid before even getting pregnant. How much of an issue is this? What's the chance that it will have a negative effect on the baby? Thanks in advance 💜

Edit: Thanks for all the advice and reassurance! I'm feeling a lot better now 😄 I have been doing my best to not really stress about too much, I know it's bad for the baby, and I do have time to figure things out. I appreciate y'all!
