A member asked:
Are prenatal vitamins really all that important for women nowadays?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good idea. : The neural tube closes during the first few weeks of pregnancy, often before a patient knows they are pregnant. Folic acid (found in prenatal vitamins) is important for correct closure. So i recommend taking them if you are planning to get pregnant. **.
