I have been taking the vitamins...should I take an additional Folic acid supplement or is the prenatal pill enough? Anyone know how much folic acid you should be taking? The prenatal pill is 800 mcg...

you actually only need 400 mcg of folic acid. and that is great that you are taking them before concieving! that is very important, the person who said "flinstone vitamins are enough" was wrong... what a great thing you are doing for your future baby. good luck and i hope you get pregnant soon!!!!

you don't have to take the pills if you are trying to conceive.. if you have a poor diet i would say yes.. but if you do get pregnant then start taking them right away and continue taking them.... if they are to strong for your stomach you can take the flinstone vitamins... good luck....

YES you should take prenatals when trying to conceive (for the person who said you didn't). Prenatals help to prepare your body for pregnancy by making sure you have the necessary vitamins ready for baby. The 800mcg you are getting from your current prenatal is plenty. You only need 400mcg. Some doctors may up it to 600 or 800 when you actually get pregnant, but that's a decision to be made if/when you get pregnant by your doctor. For now, you can see that what you're taking is more than enough.

Good luck!!
