Yes you should start Folic acid supplements prior to pregnancy. It helps to prevent mental issues in the baby. Certain blood tests are also recommended prior to conception. I would advise see a gynaecologist either in the opd or online for proper information.

Folic acid helps in prevention of abnormal brain development in the baby. Please start it from now and continue for at least first 3 months of pregnancy. It is helpful and safe.
