re: Prenatal Vitamins

*plus that vitamin has extra calcium and supports breast health just in case you're planning on breastfeeding.*

Mocha Mommy
i was a little worryed about that i was talkin to my grand mother an we both came to thinkin maybe the baby wont get enuf an all that,

Quoting Fongifrogs_315:“ i heard lots of women say that taking them at night before bed was easier on their stomachs. my doc said ... [snip!] ... double up on flinstones. you need something! also maybe try to take them with food or try drinking a glass of milk with them.”

my doc told me not to take prenatals with milk because the milk hinders the body from absorbing iron...

me an milk dont get along lol, so that not gonna work. i try eating so there is somthing in my tummie an maybe wont make me sick buh that dont work eaither

if you look at what's in a bottle of prenatals and what's in the multivitamin I'm talking about, the ingredients are 90% the same...I researched that before I stopped taking prenatals...and my OB definately agreed that the baby isn't missing out on anything at all...adults are taking children's flinstone multivitamins, so this is actually designed for adults.

And they have flavors so thast a pluse to,
thanks that helps out alot. I have been takin One A Day be for i was pregnet an i felt fine on them, too i think ill just go back to my One A Day

yeah, I was happy that I don't have to chew any vitamin, because they tend to taste weird to me, but with the One A Day I just take it with juice or water like I had before I was pregnant...another thing was it didn't leave a nasty aftertaste like prenatals do...I don't know about other ladies, but the prenatals gave me gas really bad, and I burped uncontrollably...I still belch and stuff, but it doesn't smell rancid like the prenatal did. (Yuk)  

Yea true them pn pills left an awful tast in my mouth to.
ya them vitamin tasts are not the greatest in the world i must say.
ill have to see what my doc say when i go back to him.

i think you're right about that. i was told orange juuice helps to absorb iron better but prenatals plus oj may be too acidic ... glad i dont have to worry about any of this anymore!
