Morning ladies, Do you still take your prenatal pills?? If not when did you stop? Have to choke these down another 6 months scares me.

  • I still take mine daily. And my iron supplement since I'm low. I take the Prenate with the DHA in them, I don't think they are bad to take at all.

    I will likely continue to take them while BF-ing as well. 

  • I'm still taking mine.

    You should take them throughout your pregnancy and as long as you nurse.

  • yes, you have to take them until you have your baby. If yours are too difficult to swallow ask your obgyn for chewables

  • I stopped taking prenatals around week 15.  I couldn't stand the constipation issues they caused me, so with my doc's consent I switched to Flinstones vitamins.  They're much easier to deal with and I like biting the heads off my vitamins.

    This, especially that last part.  Head-biting is fun.

    I took a folic acid supplement as well.

    Now that I'm BF I'm back to taking the regular prenatals since I don't have to worry about nausea anymore.

  • I've been taking mine, and mine are 2pills, 3 times a day, + 2 folic acid and 1 DHA at night.

    I think I've missed like a dosage once or twice on a weekend my entire pregnancy, but it's not so bad.

  • God forbid you have to take a vitamin for 6 months to make sure you and your baby are getting what is needed.

    The horror.

    Honestly, what is with people today?

    I can assure you that there are much worse things to come than "choking" down a vitamin or two.

  • I have taken them throughout my whole pregnancy as well as DHA and extra iron for anemia. I know target has Gummy's you might want to try those.
  • I take mine RIGHT before bed or I get nauseated.  It's worth it for me to ensure my kid gets nutrients.

  • A friend of mine had horrible all day sickness and her doctor took her off of her prenatals. She's 8 months now and had her galbladder (I know it's not spelled right) removed and that helped her nausea but she still doesn't take her vitamins. This seems strange to me.
