You should be taking 0.5mg of folate per day for three months before you fall pregnancy and for your entire pregnancy. Studies have shown that to be most effective you need to take this EVERY day, not just 6 days a week and hope for the best on the other day.
When a woman is pregnant she should take 800 micrograms a day in order to prevent birth defects
It is recommended that most adults consume 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid per day. Pregnant women or women trying to conceive should aim for 600-800 mcg daily to prevent neural tube defects in the baby. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
There is no special diet for 9 weeks pregnant woman. She can take the diet she likes. She need to take 5 mg folic acid daily in first three months.
It is safe to take. I helps prevent neural tube disorders in babies.

Folic acid will not help you get pregnantit is to help you have healthy babies when you DO get pregnant. Many couples take six months or more to conceive.
Yes. Even though it is used by pregnant women, along with a prenatal multivitamin, folic acid, in reasonable amounts, is taken by men as well (as a vitamin supplement).
Yes, folic acid is otherwise known as vitamin B9. This vitamin is essential in the body and in some countries is added to foods such as cereals ad bread. It is also recommended that pregnant women take folic acid supplements.
The Department of Health recommends that women should take a daily supplement of 0.4mg of folic acid while they are trying to conceive, and should continue taking this dose for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's spine is developing. Therefore, it doesn't help a woman to get pregnant, it assists with the spinal development of the fetus.
Yes. Most doctors recommend between 0.6 and 1.0 mg of folic acid for pregnant women. This is very important to prevent birth defects.
Nope. Folic acid just helps prevent neural tube defects in the first few weeks of a growing embryo's life. It has nothing to do with fertility, however you should start taking at least 400mcg of folic acid per day as soon as you even start thinking about trying to become pregnant. Your body can't maintain levels of folic acid innately, so you have to take some every day to be sure your baby gets enough.
Ideally, take folic acid if you are trying to conceive (in the form of a pre-natal vitamin). Folic acid makes the most difference (in my understanding) in the first trimester of pregnancy as that is when neural tube and brain development is most involved.
