Take a few seconds to say:

1. Are you taking folic acid?
   
2. Folic acid cannot guarantee having a healthy baby, but it helps reduce the risk of birth defects like spina bifida.
   
3. Plan your next pregnancy. You'll need ten times more folic acid by prescription for 1 to 3 months before you try to become pregnant.
   
4. Many factors influence pregnancy like your genes and your environment. Do what you can by taking folic acid every day.
