Question about vitamins & make up
| Thu, 03-12-2009 - 10:09am |
Hi,
I have so many random questions, but I hope someone can help. The first one is about vitamins. I have been taking a regular multi-vit with NO iron, because it tears my stomach apart. But I am also a vegetarian, so I probably need to have the iron. Does anyone know any brands WITH iron that are gentler on the stomach?
Also, I am wondering about other things we put in or on our bodies -- like make up or anti-perspirant. Some of these things can contain chemicals. I wonder if anyone knows whether these things are unsafe? Has anyone changed these types of things since TTC?
Thanks,
Christina

I highly recommend you take a pre-natal vitamin if you are TTC.
Hi Christina,
Like the previous poster said, taking a good prenatal vitamin is probably a really good idea. Taking the vitamin with food may help the tummy upset.
As for makeup, and lotion etc. if your worried about it you could always check out makeup that they sell at vegetarian or vegan stores. They tend to sell makeup that is free of alot of chemicals and more gentle. It may be worth looking into.
HTH,
Christine
I would try taking a prenatal vitamins that is low in iron.
