2. ≥ 18 years of age at time of consent
3. Subject is taking ≤1.1 mg of folic acid daily at the time of randomization
4. Live fetus (documented positive fetal heart prior to randomization)
5. Gestational age between 8+0 and 16+6 weeks of pregnancy (Gestational age (GA) of subjects will be calculated based on the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound performed before 12+6. If early ultrasound and LMP dates differ by ≤ 7 days, base GA estimate on LMP date; if \> 7 days, use early \< 12+6 ultrasound)
6. Subject plans to give birth in a participating hospital site
7. Pregnant subjects must fulfill at least one of the following identified risk factors for pre-eclampsia (PE):

* Pre-pregnancy diabetes (documented evidence of Type I or type II DM)
* Twin pregnancy
* Documented evidence of history of PE in a previous pregnancy
* BMI \> 35 kg/m2 within 3 months prior to this pregnancy and up to randomization of this pregnancy (documented evidence of height and weight to calculate BMI is required)
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Known history or presence of any clinically significant disease or condition which would be a contraindication to folic acid supplementation of up to 5 mg daily for the duration of pregnancy
2. Known major fetal anomaly or fetal demise
3. History of medical complications, including:
* renal disease with altered renal function,
* epilepsy,
* cancer, or
* use of folic acid antagonists such as valproic acid
