The last answer told you to: assuming the same pharmacy produced both doses, in other words, assuming that what you have is actually 'folic acid', then 400mcg is the same as .4 milligrams which is equal to 4/1000th of a gram.
Yet they still failed to answer the question: 1 milligram = 1000 mcg
if this is for the Flintstones vitamins just take either 2.5 or 3 of them and you should be fine.

∙ 13y agoYes it is. 1000mcg (micrograms) equals one mg (milligram).

∙ 12y ago1 mg is the equivalent of 1000 micrograms or mcg or ug. In the metric system a microgram is 1/1000 the weight of a milligram (mg), in other words it takes 1000mcg to equal 1 mg.

A fetus gets all of it's nutrition from their mother. The mother has all of the nutrients and passes them along to the fetus.
Is it harmful for a pregnant woman to take one tablet of Folic Acid and a multi prenatal vitamin which has 1mg and 800mcg Folic Acid and other vitamins every day?
It should be OK. Folic acid is water soluble, which means you will use what you need and urinate the rest out. My concern is why are you taking both? If you do not have a folic acid deficiency, you should be fine taking the over the counter pre-natal vitamin with the 800 mcg (and that is all) OR you can ask your doctor to prescribe a prescription pre-natal vitamin with 1 mg of folic acid plus other vitamins/minerals and take that alone. Pregnant women do not require more than 800 mcg of folate/day even though there is that 1 mg prescription formulation - unless you have a deficiency! You may want to run this by your doctor - ask if he/she thinks it is necessary for you to be on the extra folate and if not, can you just take the over the counter supplement. I would not change what you are doing until you talk to your doctor, however. Hope this is helpful!
Folic acid deficiency anaemia?
The type of anemia that is linked to a deficiency of folic acid is called megaloglastic anemia. It is characterized by large red blood cells that are immature, and thus don't function properly, and by neutrophils that have more segments in their nuclei than they should have (normally they have 3-4 segments). People with megaloblastic anemia also have a higher level of homocysteine in their blood.
