folic acid

Our daughter was diagnosed as anencephalic last April and was
stillborn in September. We were told to take the folic acid three to
four months before trying to get pregnant again. Does this really
help? I'm terrified of getting pregnant again. I'm still torn up
over our daughter and don't want to go through this again. Any
suggestions to help ease the anxiety?

I've noticed that I'm really nauseated after about two months of taking the high dosage of folic acid. Is this a common problem?...
