Prenatals how long?

mzovoce

How long after birth, if at all, do you take PNVs?

JalynSue

I think it depends on if your going to breast feed or not...

If you BF, it is good to take them at least as long as you do that.

I will be taking them the entire time I'm breastfeeding. 

Mrs.Hagen2

I took them as long as I nursed.

I don't plan on stopping them as long as I'm in my child-bearing years.

I started them when we got married in 2006.

My doc says every woman in child-bearing years, who is sexually active, should take them.

I agree, they are very good for you. I like them better than the regular woman's vitamins.

In case you get pregnant.

They provided the needed folic acid that you should have in your system if you conceive.

Ditto.

Studies have shown that folic acid is most optimal for development when you have been taking it for 3 months prior to conception, that's why drs. rec all women of child-bearing age to take them. Although, you don't have to take as much as in the prenatals, I think 400mg is good enough

Yeah, I think that all" women's" vitamins have 100% RDA of folic acid for that reason.  Prenatals just have more.
