What Is Folic Acid?
Folic acid, sometimes called folate, is a B vitamin (B9) found mostly in leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach, orange juice, and enriched grains. Repeated studies have shown that women who get 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) daily prior to conception and during early pregnancy reduce the risk that their baby will be born with a serious neural tube defect (a birth defect involving incomplete development of the brain and spinal cord) by up to 70%.

I just saw a Nova movie about child birth and it said that a woman is born with a certain number of eggs and that is it. Millions when you are born. When you are in you 30s you might only have a 1000 left. But, still plenty to make a few children.

no folic acid is taken when trying to get pregnant to help avoid spinal deformaties like spina bifida.

No, we're designed to ripen and release one egg per cycle. Occasionally women release two, but only fertility drugs cause us to ripen lots of eggs per cycle.

No - you are born with a finite amount of eggs.
