can i take my sister in laws prenatal vitamins?

I'm pregnant not far long maybe 5weeks and doc told me to buy some over the counter but my sister in law gave me some. Is it safe to take them? (I haven't had my prenatal appiontment yet I'm still applying for health care at the moment...)

  • Taking someone else's prescription is always a bad idea. Buy OTC vitamins
    BFP #1 - Mango - 6/11/12, EDD 2/22/12 Natural MC 7/15/12
    BFP #2 - Nacho - 10/14/12, EDD 6/20/13, MMC 8 weeks, D&C 11/16/12
    All testing shows both H and I are perfectly normal. Baby Nacho had triploidy.

  • Are your SIL's prescription or just her OTC? if its OTC, i'd say take them. If they are her perscription, i'd just go buy a bottle of an OTC brand. Ideally you should begin taking prenatals prior to BFP, so start taking some as soon as possible.
