When should you see a doctor?

[Fleura]

Hello...newbie here!

My husband and I are about to start trying for our first baby :) and have been reading up on a couple of baby books. Some recommend seeing the doctor before you start and also starting to take folic acid so just wanted to find out if that was the norm? (before I book to see the doctor and he looks at me blankly!)

Thanks!

Start taking your folic acid now but I wouldn't go to the doc unless you have a problem or worry you want to discuss? When I mentioned to mine I was trying (when seeing her about something else) she said "Start having lots of sex then!"

Good luck.
