Start now ..it is very essential to  start taking folic acid 5 mg per day during these early months to avoid neural tube defects in the child. To start iron supplements, you need to wait up to 18 weeks because iron has it's own bloating , nausea like side effects. Better to get dietary irin from jaggery,leafy vegetables,raisins,egg,and less sour  fruit juices.
