I am trying for a baby will taking prenatel vitamins everyday such as pregnacare help me to concieve?

No: The prenatal vitamins do not help you conceive - they are taken to be sure you have adequate vitamins for proper development of a baby if you should conceive.

No: Prenatal vitamins are taken so that if and when you become pregnant you will be in good nutritional shape to help the baby grow normally. One of the most important vitamins is folic acid which helps prevent neural tube defects (spina bifida and anencephaly). Unfortunately, taking prenatal vitamins will not aid in conception. Overall good nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management may.

Not necessarily: Conceive, but they will help ensure you have the appropriately nutritional status to ensure once you get pregnant that you will be able to support the healthy development of your baby.
