Accepted Answer

No, but...: No, the vitamins will not help you get pregnant quicker, but it is important that you take vitamins. Being on adequate folic acid before conception reduces the risk of anomalies including cleft lip, heart defects, spina bifida, and now even autism.

Question 2

what prenatal vitamins should be taken?

Accepted Answer

Talk to an OB: I'm going to assume that since you haven't already been given prenatal vitamins, you don't have an obstetrician yet.  If you're pregnant, you need one asap.  
Prenatal vitamins are essentially a good multivitamin with extra folic acid.  There are many types with formulas that differ from one another a little.  Which formula is a matter of your obstetrician's preference.

Question 3

what are the benefits of taking prenatal vitamins like pregancare?

Accepted Answer

Are just vitamins: Prenatal vitamins are just vitamins.  If a woman is in good health with good nutrition, the added vitamins from prenatal vitamins are not noticeable to her body.  The vitamins do not help a woman get pregnant. The Folic Acid in the prenatal vitamins does help decrease the chance of a certain type of serious birth defect (called a neural tube defect).

Question 4

can prenatal vitamins make you spot?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Prenatal vitamins are designed to be safe in pregnancy.  They shouldn't make you spot.  If you are spotting, you should see your Ob and find out why.

Question 5

can prenatal vitamins affect the pill?

Accepted Answer

No: Taking a prenatal vitamin concurrently with an oral contraceptive will not decrease efficacy of the birth control pill. In fact, it is often recommended that women take prenatal vitamins during their child-bearing years, despite birth control measures, because of their significant benefits and relatively low risks.
