Prenatal Vitamins

If you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant or even of child bearing age, you need to take vitamins. This is a subject that hits very close to home for me. I had never heard of folic acid and my Dr. didn't put me on prenatal vitamins and my son has paid dearly for it. He's my miracle, 16 years old and 16 surgeries behind him, Josh was born with Spina Bifida. This birth defect can be prevented by taking your prenatal vitamins but you have to be taking them from the minute you get pregnant, so it's a good idea to take before you even get pregnant.
