A member asked:
I just took a 3 pregnancy tests and they are positive? i would be about 4 weeks pregnant. when should i start taking prenatal vitamins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now: If trying to get pregnant, or if already pregnant, one can start them now. Prenatal vitamins are just multivitamins. If a woman is in good health with good nutrition, the added vitamins from prenatal vitamins are not noticeable to her body. The vitamins don't help a person get pregnant. The Folic Acid in the prenatal vitamins does help decrease the chance of a certain type of birth defect.
