Arif,

Were you able to find the methylfolate in Singapore? I forgot to
mention that iherb.com also carries methylfolate (at a discount
price). I might combine this with the Metagenics Acti-Folate, since
it is so expensive. Especially if I'm going to take the 10mg.

I want to keep in touch... Let me know how things go. I am praying
and hoping that you have a healthy baby this time around! Michele,
you're also in my thoughts and prayers. We're all in this
together!!! Wouldn't it be great if we all had healthy babies
within the year!

By the way, I'm going to be induced at the end of June (when I'm 38
weeks). I'll keep in touch.



-Patricia
