I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I've been feeling like I might be leaking amniotic fluid. I'm also noticing that my baby has hiccups quite a lot these days. I'm worried about how quickly the amniotic fluid might decrease if there's a leak and what I should be looking out for in upcoming scans. Can you help me understand what's happening and what steps I should take?

I'm planning to get pregnant soon and I'm wondering if you could recommend a good brand of folic acid tablets? Also, when's the best time of day to take them?

As a doctor, I would recommend brands like "Folvite" or "Obstetrical Folic Acid" for folic acid supplementation before pregnancy. It's ideal to take the tablet in the morning with food to enhance absorption and reduce the risk of nausea.
