Anyone still take prenatal vitamins?

Nick Strafella · March 2009

I loved how healthy my hair and nails were on PNVs! Just wondering if anyone still takes them. Or do you take another multi vitamin?

Because I'm BFing, my OB wanted me to continue taking my PNV so I am.

Yep, but I have taken them for years.

I still take them...but I also breastfeed, and they say on the bottle to take for breastfeeding as well.

I've heard before that many women take PNVs whether they "need" them or not...can't think it would hurt, right?

I had continued for two reasons. The first was I was bfing and the second was I knew I would be having a second child sometime down the road so it doesn't hurt to take them and get the extra folic acid now.

I took them up until a few months ago and now I take a different multi vitamin

My OB told me it was ok to switch to a multi when I was still BF'ing.

I do, I was taking the because I was bfing but now that I'm done I'm just going to finish my prescription and then stop.

I do! I still have the huge econo size of pills left over.

I've been taking PNV for four straight years now (just before I got PG with DD1). I asked my primary doc if it was okay for me to just go ahead and take them as a multi vitamin and she said that was perfectly fine.

I'm still BFing so obviously I'm still taking it...but I'll probably continue after I wean, too.
