Prenatal Vitamin Without Iron- 200 Questions Answered

Me and my husband are planning to start a family..I have started taking a prenatal vitamin daily. But recently my friend said not to take a prenatal vitamin before I am pregnant as it has a lot of extra nutrients like iron and other things. Should I continue taking my prenatal vitamin daily or should I stop and only take folic acid tablet?
