You should take prenatal vitamins before conceiving. The folic acid is especially important during the first few weeks of development before most women know they're pregnant. Folic acid has been shown to greatly reduce the chance of birth defects such as spina bifida and other neural tube defects. The neural tube and the beginnings of the brain are some of the first cells to develop. Check out the March of Dimes web site (marchofdimes.com) for more information about preventing birth defects.

Yes, start now. Usually its best to start acting like your pregnant before you are because if you think about, most women are 3-4wks pregnant when they find out they are already pregnant. Make sense?? Start now so your body will be ready when the baby starts to form.

YES!! It is very important to start them early when trying to conceive, and it is very important to continue taking them after you give birth if you plan on breast feeding.

Yes, it is because if you do get pregnant you will already have the supply going.
