multivitamins help with your general wellbeing so they certainly will help your body to be in good order to carry a baby. folic acid is recommended for women to take 3mth prior to conception (or trying to conceive),during pregnancy (especially first 3mths) because it reduces the risk of neral tube defects (spina bifida etc).if you are healthy you have a better chance of falling pregnant,so i suppose . omega 3 is good for baby's brain development too- just check you are taking vitamins that are safe in pregnancy!(some are not recommended)

no. they say to take folic acid during conception becasue once you concieve the baby needs folic acidin the first 2 weeks of development to help prevent some birth defects and you usually can not even tell you are pregnant at that point. If you want help conceiving then this is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler
This book will help you with all of your menstrual and conception questions. It’s for all women - not just women trying to conceive. It covers everything from temperature to mucus checking, etc.. 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 tells you how to figure out your cycle and what to expect. My husband and I tried for a year to conceive and nothing happened. The first month I used the book we conceived right away. Now I am due Feb 2. 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!

Folic Acid prevents your baby from having Spinabifida. Although it will not help you conceive, it is an absolute must for anyone trying to have a baby.

No, It is just a supplement . But it is very important to take folic acid tablets, if you are planning for pregnancy. I am in the process too. All the best.

Caron, Folic Acid and Vitamins are needed only after you pregnant to help the foetus. It is only sperms that can get you pregnant.
To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.
After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.
After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.
Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

They wont make you get pregnant but i believe they do help i took both before trying to conceive my two children. It make sense that if you are trying to make your body healthier that you will conceive easier than unhealthy. The most crucial time for baby's development is the first trimester so it makes sense to try to make sure your body not lacking in anything specially if you get morning sickness and you cant keep food down just be sure to take pregnancy vitamins not women's vitamins you need a different balance.

No, they just help your body and they will help your baby should you get pregnant by preventing birth defects! So, if you are thinking of getting prego. you should start taking them months prior to getting prego.

Nope. But, it'll definitely make for a healthier baby if you start taking them pre-pregnancy and during!
