Taking a vitamin with 400 mcg of folic acid before and at the beginning of your pregnancy has been shown to prevent a serious birth defect. You can even take two Flintstones chewable vitamins to get the folic acid you need. Talk to your healthcare provider or the pharmacist for help deciding which vitamin to take.

With a doctor’s prescription, you can get some kinds of prenatal vitamins for free at both Marsh and Meijer pharmacies. Find out more at:
