Folic acid: Absolutely! All women of childbearing age should get at least . 4 mg of folic acid daily to prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida. There also is evidence that it may prevent Down' Syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. Any multivitamin even gummies and Flinstones will have the right amount. It is important to start before any pregnancy and especially in the early weeks of pregnancy
