NTR: What vitamins do you take/why?

Kingston54 · April 2012

I just take a prenatal multivitamin right now - I've been taking it since LO was born because I was breastfeeding and now because we are TTC.

I take a PNV and DHA because I'm pregnant. I also take folgard for the MTHFR. I also take vitamin B2 and magnesium oxide to prevent migraines. A total of 9 pills a day! For vitamins!

Vit B12 because I'm a vegan, and I don't eat enough fortified foods.

I'm supposed to take an iron pill, because my iron levels aren't very good, but I can't stand the side effects. I really need to be taking a vitamin, but I'm take 4 pills a day, for other things, that I don't want to add another one. Stupid - I know.

Pre-pregnancy, I just took 2 of DD"s gummy vitamins. There is something on the casing of regular vitamins that makes me nauseous or throw up. Now I am taking a prenatal that is a capsule instead of the regular hard vitamin.

During the winter I take vit.d but otherwise I don't take anything.. I found I was low on iron during my pregnancy and then fully switched to using cast-iron pans and that worked perfectly! Oh and if I feel sick I take the vit. d also.

ETA:

I did take a pre-natal the first year I breast-fed. (and during my pregnancy)

Prenatal -- my doc wants all women of childbearing age to take prenatals whether pregnant or nursing or not

Fish oil/DHA -- for depression/anxiety

5 HTTP -- for depression/anxiety

Vitamin D3 -- because it's supposed to do all sorts of amazing stuff

B vitamin complex (including folic acid) -- also for depression/anxiety
