I started taking mine the day I found out. My doctor said you should start taking them when trying to to get pregnant, during and while breastfeeding. My pregnancy wasn't planned, but my next one I'll start taking them when my hubby and I start trying.

u should take folic acid while trying to get pregnant helps your body to know ur trying to concive x
Prenatals should be take while trying to conceive, while pregnant, and while breastfeeding. I didn't take them while trying to get pregnant, but I did start as soon as I found out.
My doctor told me to start prenatal vitamins as soon as I told him I wanted to become pregnant. They should be taken the whole pregnancy.
She Should have been taking them since the beginning of the pregnancy. Folic acid is important for growth and development of the baby. Tell her to start taking them now :)
In Australia we have always been told that the minimum to take is folic acid and at least 3 months before trying to concieve, over here we can get pre-conception vitiamins or alternativley they reccomend taking pregnancy vitamins before getting pregnant :)
I always take them right away...I've never waited until the 2nd trimester!? In the early stages of development is when its most important to have folic acid. I think what ur wife is taking seems good. =)
