Pre-natal vitamins
I just got BFP this morning and I just read an article on LIF that if you start taking folic acid after you conceive it's too late. We weren't trying, so I wasn't taking them 
Is there a specific kind, or are they all basically the same?

Re: Pre-natal vitamins
congrats! I would not worry about not taking anything before conceiving i didnt for my last DD and everything was ok. For this pregnancy and my last i barely remember to actually take my pre-natal vitamins.
I would say all vitamins are baiscally the same

Re: Pre-natal vitamins
make sure you take one with DHA, or take a separate DHA supplement!

Re: Pre-natal vitamins
I didn't take prenatals before getting pregnant either, don't worry.
I've been taking different brands throughout my pregnancy. Right now I'm taking Nature's Bounty Your Life Multi Prenatal. I like it because it's a softgel and easier to swallow.

Re: Pre-natal vitamins
I wasn't taking vitamins before I got pregnant, but I started as soon as I found out. Never too late! Don't worry about it, chances are everything will be fine.

Many women dont take any vitamins before conceiving so no it is def not to late. As soon as I got pregnant and before my first appt I took 600mg of folic acid once I received the prescribed ones those had 1.1mg of folic acid. I take Prenate Elite.

Re: Pre-natal vitamins
I never took Folic Acid or anything before getting pregnant and DD was fine.
After I got a BFP I took a multi every day and that was it.
The Dr prescirbed me prescription prenatals at my first visit- 8 weeks.
Think of all the women who get pregnant without trying, unplanned, etc.
I doubt they were all taking Folic acid beforehand.
