Prenatal Vitamins While TTC?
| Wed, 07-16-2003 - 6:20pm |
Hello everyone,
I've heard some women talk about taking PN vitamin's while TTC. I tried them a long time ago and they made me feel ill. Anyone have anything to offer in that area? Do you take them? Do they make you feel sick? How you do you combat that or do you just live with it? Thanks!

You probably already got the answer you were looking for, but I thought I'd offer another trick I've found. When I started taking prenatals, I was afraid they'd make me sick, too, so I tried to combat that from the beginning. I take them at night, and I've never had a problem with them. I just make it a part of my nightly routine...brush my teeth, take my vitamin, put my thermometer on top of my alarm clock. :) I figure if I go to sleep right after I take them, I don't give them a chance to make me sick! Good luck to you!

Just take them. I know I know, they make you constipated and sick, they are a pain to take, and as long as you are an average non-3rd-world person, you probably don't even need them. Still, just take them.
You see, I've had 2 pregnancies. I handled both of them about the same. I didn't take prenatals in either one. They made me sick and I didn't like the idea of NEEDING to take vitamins when humans have been pregnant plenty of times in history without them. I did pop a flinstone now and then. My first baby was born at a HUGE 9 pounds 7 ounces. A perfect baby boy. My daughter was born at 8 pounds 12 ounces and another perfect baby - although she was stillborn. Her stillbirth had NOTHING to do with vitamins. Nothing at all. She was a well nurished, plump, beautiful little girl. But it doesn't matter. If anything goes wrong in your pregnancy, you will search your mind for anything you've ever done while TTC or pregnant that was suboptimal. You will settle on every little thing you did wrong and blame yourself for that. In the light of that, gagging down a horse pill of a vitamin once a day isn't such a big deal.
Just take em.
