Im 16 weeks pregnant. should i be taking vitamins or supplements?

Pregnant: Absolutely. You should be taking a prenatal vitamin if not then at least a general multivitamin and add folic acid to it as well my suggestion is also to add DHA- good for brain development in the baby and go and see an OB/gyn.
