    Are you taking Folgard or another extra folic acid supplement? Definitely take it if you aren't....

    But as far as cereal, I am loving Capt. Crunch right now and it has alot of folic acid in it!

    i think all major brands of breads and cereals in the US are fortified with folic acid.  you should have enough in your prenatal vitamins, though.  just find some cereal that you enjoy :)

    I'd say your PNVs are enough, but if you want to take more in a pill form you can. You just pee out what your body doesn't use. You can't take too much.

    Speaking of peeing out vitamins you don't use... did you know that if you drained the contents of a port-a-potty, you would find piles of multi-vitamins, like One-A-Day?!?!  It's true:)  They don't really dissolve in your body and you end up just pooing them out. 

    YUCK!

    I've come to really like all the fiber cereals... Fiber One, All-Bran, etc.  They've got some yummy varities, but they're a bit pricey.  If your DH is anything like mine, he probably won't touch them though, so they may last a little longer than the "good" stuff!

    Basic Four is my absolute favorite cereal. ?I'm not allowed to buy it often because I can eat the whole box in one sitting.
