Answer

When you say you aren’t “actively” TTC what does that mean? That means different things to different people. Are you having unprotected sex and is he finishing inside you? If so, that is actively TTC lol and in that case you should be taking prenatals

Answer

I was told last night at the pharmacy to take prenatal pills if you are TTC, it’s good for when the baby will come.

Answer

I chose a women’s multi that had folic acid when we were ‘trying but not trying’ now I’m taking actual prenatals. I would just take prenatals now

Answer

It's your best bet you do. Coming from someone who lost a daughter due to anencephaly. The best prevent to tube defects is by taking prenatals before hand

Answer

You can if you want. You don’t have to take prenatals before pregnancy. People just choose to.
