Pre-Pregnancy Preparation

[CharlieGirl007]

Folic Acid alone  or Prenatal Vitamins??

In preparation for getting pregnant, I am confused on what is best in terms of vitamin supplements. My doctors says to take a folic acid supplement so I have started to take 1 mg. per day. Some of my female friends tell me that I should be taking the prenantal vitamins already to prepare but I am not taking  their word for it as maybe too much of a good thing isn't good. I try and eat a balanced diet although with my busy schedule it is sometimes difficult.

I want to give myself the best shot possible at having a successful pregnancy and would appreciate an educated professional's advice on the best choice.

Thank you.

Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone happy holidays before I get too busy today! I gather I'll have a lot to warp up so it's best I do this now.

AF still feels like she is just about to start so I am still waiting and waiting and waiting! I won't even bother testing until I'm like 40 days!

Anyway God bless! Enjoy your holiday!

Peace!
