Folic acid is essential when you start planning for a baby. Your wife must start folic acid supplementation immediately as gives protection from neural tube defect.

Dear Sir, first of all, wish your wife a healthy pregnancy. Supplements are required by mother and growing foetus, if at all there is some deficiency in body. During delv body might face blood loss. Generally females are anaemic and during pregnancy baby draws all nutrients from mother. Excessive iron or folic may also cause constipation.
