My wife is 7 months pregnant, a week ago she mistakingly took a double dose of folic acid for 7 days, due to the iron supplement she was taking also had folic acid in (Pregaday). When she realised, she  took the pregaday only. Will this cause any problems - we are expecting twins.

according to that and other links i've just looked at you have nothing to worry about - you need to be careful not to od on the iron supplement.  I'd let your wife's doctor know as a matter of course, but i can find no warning related to overdosing folic acid.

Good luck with the twins!!!
