I just found out that I am pregnant and I am taking folic acid. When should I switch to taking prenatal vitamins?

It is recommended to start taking prenatal vitamins before getting pregnant or as soon as you find out you are pregnant. Prenatal vitamins provide essential nutrients for you and your growing baby, including folic acid, which is important for preventing birth defects. It is best to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best time to switch from folic acid to prenatal vitamins.
