Taking Prenatal Vitamins While TTC?

Doctors have been telling women for years to take their prenatal vitamins during pregnancy, but now there's new reason to start taking them before you even plan to have a baby.

A new study found women who did not take their prenatal vitamins [2] right before and during their pregnancies were twice as likely to have an autistic child, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Interesting!  Is anyone taking prenatal vitamins now?  How long have you been taking them?
