My hubby and I are planning on trying for a baby in the next few months. Did you take a pre-conception multivitamin or just folic acid? Once you were pregnant did you take a pregnancy multivitamin? I've never taken multivitamins before. Thank you :-)

I'd at least take the folic acid. When my son was born it wasn't known that folic acid prevents birth defects like spina bifida.
Speak to your local pharmacist for specific advice.
If your diet is balanced a multi isn't necessary (and they are bloody hard to keep down in the first few months of pregnancy) so I'd focus on the folate. Get bloods done now if you can to see if you're low in anything (Vit D, iron etc) and you can supplement if you need to.
