I'm pregnant and never take folic acid, i'm in my first trimester can i start to take it now ?

Yes: Congratulations! Folic Acid significantly reduces the chance of your baby having neural tube defects, a common form of birth defect. It's esp. Important in the first weeks of pregnancy, which is why it is wise for all women who might become pregnant to take it regularly. Please start today to get maximum benefits. Biotin, less heralded, also reduces birth defects. Look for a prenatal with biotin.
