Regarding Prenatal Vitamins-small issue
| Thu, 08-20-2009 - 3:00pm |
Hello,
I want to make my TTC as easy as possible at 32 years old. I'm in a healthy physical state with the only exception of having anemia, of which i am taking daily iron pills for. And at 5.3" I might be a bit underweight - I'm currently 113 pounds.
Now I was told to begin taking prenatal vitamins, and went with the "nature Made" brand on my own. Upon buying them, I noticed that they were huge!! I must mention I have a problem swallowing pills. I tense and I just feel like they get stuck as a result, so I have come to only take chewables, just like the centrium chewables. Now, I was at my grocery store and compared the two bottles, centrium and n.made, and there was a 50 percent difference between the chewable and the regular prenatal.

The important part is that you get enough of certain key vitamins and minerals, especially folic acid. So, you can probably put together a good regimen for yourself, even if you don't take an official prenatal.
Here's a good article that tells you what you look for:
