I'm so sorry for your loss. My friend had a bad folic acid deficiency (to the point where it completely stopped her from being fertile) and her doctor had her taking a pill that contained only folic acid. Prenatal vitamins can have TONS of other minerals and vitamins in them and it is possible to overdose on a couple of them. So talk to your doctor ASAP (because folic acid is needed in the first trimester) before trying to take double the amount of a vitamin. That being said, even if you aren't pregnant, you may need to take a daily vitamin for your own health.
that is a question for your doctor. Please contact him/her to see what they suggest.
