What is the most important information I should know about prenatal plus vitamins?

I want to know that what is the most important information about prenatal plus vitamins that I should know? There are so many brands of prenatal plus vitamins so I don’t know which one is the most effective and good one. I also want to know that what is the use of folic acid in prenatal plus vitamins. How many times should a pregnant woman take it in a day? Can a vitamin overdose cause any side effects?
