so i actually saw my doctor doctor today. i told her i was taking iron pills, folic acid, and prenatal vitamins. she told me i don't need to take the folic acid. i was like ummm ok because my mid wife told me i should take the folic acid because prenatal vitamins have a little bit. who do i listen to?

I only take folic acid. I don't take prenatal vitamins. I can't handle the amount of calcium in them.
Becareful that you don't od on folic acid. Taking too much can cause mouth sores, bleeding gums, etc. Since your prenatal vitamins have folic acid in them i wouldn't double up on them.

You only need the frolic acid if your prenatal vitamin doesn't have it in it.
