Once you find out for sure that you are going to be having a baby, there are probably so many emotions running through you. If you found out by taking one of the at home test, then you should contact your Dr. and schedule a time to go in. That first appointment isn't bad, for me, they just asked a lot of questions about my family history, then felt to see about how far a long they thought that I was. Then they gave me some folic acid and told me they would see me in a month for the first ultra sound!

If you are thinking about having a baby, or are already in the early stages of pregnancy you really should be taking folic acid. It helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. It needs to be taken before and during early pregnancy when the neural tube is developing.
