Wow yeah you should definitely get a prenatal. Folic acid is good, but there may be other nutrients the baby needs he may not be getting from that particular pill. If you're looking for a specific brand, I use Brainstrong, which includes DHA (good for their little brain development), but most of the major prenatal vitamins will give you what they need.

When pregnant, I took a prenatal, an Omega 3, and folic acid (extra from what was in the prenatal).  Iron is also a good idea, if the prenatal doesn't have 100% of the daily recommended dose.

You should be taking prenatal vitamins (they contain folic acid).
