Hello, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. Firstly, I would like to know if there is any specific cause why your wives obstetrician put off prescribing nutritional supplements. If proper diet is taken along with folates, supplements can be postponed for a while. If you wish to start supplements, please inform your doctor of the same because no self-medication is advisable. Shell can be used while it is better to choose a safer preparation than Harmful. Allow plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and rest. Hope this helps.
