no, but it is necessary during pregnancy
(especially very early on like the first 2 weeks) to help prevent some birth defects. If you are trying to get pregnant then I suggest go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! . It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

No, but the reason it is important is because it prevents neurological defect to the embryo before you usually even know your pregnant. A deficency in folic acid can cause what is called a neural tube defect. The neural tube becomes the spinal cord and problems can result in things like spina bifida.

No, but it's really important for you to take it even when you are trying to get pregnant. It helps to lower the risk of birth defects such as spina bifida in your developing baby.

you will possibly desire to purchase an over the counter prenatal diet, which will have the proper volume of folic acid. once you have visited alongside with your OB, he/she will have the capacity to in all likelihood supply you samples and a prescription for prenatals.

no but it does prevent birth defects that occur before pregnancy can be detected which is why it is recommended for all women of childbearing years.
