Hi I am 34 years old and I am 10 weeks pregnant for my 2nd baby I already have 8 years old son, and I am very frightened that I missed out to take my folic acid pills all these days kindly let me know whether is it going to harm my baby in the womb by any chance because I got my pregnancy confirmed during my 8th week.

No it will not. Half of the population which lives in villages n small towns either don't visit a doctor all through their pregnancy or visit in very late stages usually for delivery still they have normal babies 99.98% of times. So don't waste your time in fretting over the things which is very rare to happen still on safer side get a scan done at 13 wks for nuchal fold thickness.
