It is recommended to start taking prenatal vitamins about 3 months prior to conceiving, if you are able. The reason for this is because of the folic acid content. Folic acid is needed by the developing embryo for spinal cord development. The neural tube closes around 4 weeks, often before a women realizes she's pregnant. Lack of folic acid in your diet has been linked to spinal cord abnormalities such as spina bifida. Otherwise, I don't think it helps you to "get or stay" pregnant.
