Prenatal Vitamin ?
Okay ladies -- DH and I had a discussion tonight regarding TTC and when we'd like to start and all that stuff. He's got the baby fever B-A-D. I mean, Bad.
We plan on starting towards the end of the year, once we get settled in the house and all.
I'd like to start taking prenatal vitamins now -- but is just a regular prenatal enough, or should I supplement with something else?
Re: Prenatal Vitamin ?
Originally I started with OTC and then my doctor switched me to a prescription and gave me supplements-DHA.?I guess you could ask your doctor, but my feeling is that OTC is probably fine, especially if you aren't TTC yet. My doctor wasn't concerned about the OTC, but offered the prescription and felt I should use supplements since we were trying.
I've been fine, but I know some people complain about upset stomach or other side effects so you might have to find the brand that works best for you. ?

I started taking OTC prenatals (Target brand) as soon as we started TTC but you can't start too early. It is recommended that any woman of child bearing age get the amount of folic acid that is found in prenatals so I say start ASAP. My Dr. asked after I got pregnant if I was taking prenatals. I said yes and that was the end of that. No discussion of prescriptions or supplements. Mine never made me sick but I take them right before bed.
Good luck!
