We will be trying to get pregnant in about a yr and a half. And I was wondering when would a good time be to start taking prenatal vitamins? A friend of mine, who is also aiming for the same conception time, has already started taking them. Is taking them this early beneficial for the future pregnancy??
I heard so much about prenatal vitamins growing hair. How much growth did you get from taking them? How long do you have to wait to see results?
If I want to concieve a year from now, when should I start taking prenatal vitamins?
When do doctors usually give them to you when you are planning a pregnancy?
I know it’s important not to go crazy with the iron and some other nutrients if you aren’t pregnant. This one seems reasonable to me, is there anything I should be concerned about?

I am 20 weeks pregnant. I read that it was good to take Omega 3 supplements as well as vitamin D, but wasn’t sure if these items were covered with the basic prenatal vitamin. What are others out there taking?
