All women of childbearing age should take a multivitamin containing 400 mg. of folic acid everyday even if they are not planning a pregnancy. This is because half of all pregnancies are unplanned and folic acid can help prevent the risk of certain birth defects that occur very early on in pregnancy, before most women even know they are pregnant.
