If folic acid is not taken during the first two weeks of pregnancy will the embryo definitely be harmed or is there a chance that it will be OK?
Asked by Wiki User
There is a very high chance that the baby will be perfectly healthy. Folic acid is mostly taken to prevent spina bifida, which only occurs in a small percentage of pregnancies. It is a good idea to keep taking it now, as there are still many benefits.
Can prenatal vitamins increase chances of conceiving?

Well overall improved health can be beneficial through a vitamin and I suppose it is possible to improve your chances. The main purpose of a prenatal vitamin is to provide the soon to be mother with folic acid along with a multi vitamin. The folic acid is essential to proper fetal development.
Is it harmful for a pregnant woman to take one tablet of Folic Acid and a multi prenatal vitamin which has 1mg and 800mcg Folic Acid and other vitamins every day?
Asked by Wiki User
It should be OK. Folic acid is water soluble, which means you will use what you need and urinate the rest out. My concern is why are you taking both? If you do not have a folic acid deficiency, you should be fine taking the over the counter pre-natal vitamin with the 800 mcg (and that is all) OR you can ask your doctor to prescribe a prescription pre-natal vitamin with 1 mg of folic acid plus other vitamins/minerals and take that alone. Pregnant women do not require more than 800 mcg of folate/day even though there is that 1 mg prescription formulation - unless you have a deficiency! You may want to run this by your doctor - ask if he/she thinks it is necessary for you to be on the extra folate and if not, can you just take the over the counter supplement. I would not change what you are doing until you talk to your doctor, however. Hope this is helpful!
