Not that it matters too much before hand, but it will when you are pregnant, but some multi vitamins are not suitable for use during pregnancy! Too much Vitamin A for example has been linked with birth defects, and is one of the reasons pregnant women are advised not to eat vast quantities of liver any more. (The liver stores Vit A ). To be on the safe side(and to prevent you from worrying) I would buy a pregnancy multi vit, which you will know is completly safe!
Also, Folic Acid is water soluble, which means your body will excrete what it doesn't need, so it is perfectly safe to take an extra tablet, if it makes you feel better
You can also buy fish oils that are for pregnant women! These have been shown to promote healthy brain development whilst in the womb, but once again, please make sure that if you do choose to take them,that they are the ones for pregnant women.
Like everyone else has said, relax and have fun!

ha you beat me to it, was just gonna say about vit a and offal, its vit a from animal source(which is called retinol) that you need to avoid, but of course if you take a supplement for pregnant woman that'll be taken care of.
And yes relax!! we took 8 months to catch with our 1st and it was the month i didnt care that it happened. just let it happen 2nd time and caught straight away
