I've wondered that myself. It's important that pregnant women take folic acid during pregnancy, as it helps to prevent neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. But Dr. Tod Cooperman says that pregnant women should take no more than 400 mcg of folic acid per day, and most prenatal vitamins contain 800 mcg.
