New Mom-To-Be

Hello!

I’m a new mom to be. I’m only about 4 weeks, however, I called my OB/GYN and they won’t see me until I’m 8 or 9 weeks which I read is normal. But I’m not sure if I should take just folic acid or prenatal vitamins. My one friend told me to take just folic acid until my first appointment and have the doctor prescribe me prenatal pills, but my other friend who already has a child told me I should start taking OTC prenatal vitamins ASAP. I don’t know what to do! I just want to make sure my baby is getting all the nutrients he/she needs. Please help.
