Folic Acid should be one of the main nutrients in the pre-natal vitamins!

The prenatal vitamin is supposed to have the recommended amount of folic acid in it. I didn't have to take it separately.

my first three months i could not keep my prenatals down so my dr told me to take a folic acid tablet a day...that at 3 months that is really the most important supplement...once i hit three months and my stomach had settled i was able to keep 1/2 of my vitamin down and that is all i take to this day (29 weeks)....as long as you are eating a healthy diet you will be okay....remember, the baby gets what it needs...you are the one who will suffer :)

your prenatal vitamins should have the amount of folic acid that is needed already in them

most of the time the prenatals have everything you need, but you can buy just folic acid tablets at the drugstore

you are supposed to get 1000mcg of folic acid a day. my prenatal didn't have enough so i always took a separate supplement.

brocolli and green leafy veggies are loaded with folic acid. some orange juice is fortified with it. if you are young and healthy, you can't get too much.

No, not unless your doctor has reason to believe that you would need it. Routine tests that they do each visit would show whether or not you needed it, otherwise no.
