Folic acid: Folic acid is recommended at a minimum to be supplemented. Make sure you establish with a GP and Ob-Gyn doc as soon as possible in order to have your medical needs addressed properly through your pregnancy.

Vitamins: We have been asked not to endorse specific products or product lines. One of the most important differences between a daily multiple vitamin and prenatal vitamins is the increased dose of folate. Folate is important to help prevent neural tube defects.
