Do you want a baby?: Prenatal vitamins, especially with folic acid, can profoundly help in the developmental process of a growing baby inside you and also help prevent neural tube defects (the Folic Acid component). So, if you want to get pregnant, and are trying to, you should take the prenatal vitamins as when you find out your pregnant, the baby has already started to develop inside you. Best wishes.
