actually it's best to start taking them when you are trying to conceive, esp folic acid and up until the 12th week of pregnancy.
Not sure about the other vitamins though, I just ate healthily and took the folic acid.

Start taking them as soon as you find out you are pregnant! They help with the forming of the baby's nueral tube, and the baby's development as a whole. You would be amazed at how much we actually miss in our diets, and you will feel a lot healthier after you start taking the pills.

I would suggest taking them from the moment you find out your pregnant. Prenatal vitamins have more vitamins b/c of the fact the fetis is taking most of the vitamins from you and if you don't it can endager you and the baby by having not enough essential vitamins in your system

You should take them when you start trying. But if you are pregnant and haven't started taking them it is vital you take them in the first trimester. The first trimester is when the babies organs form.
