we started to try this past month, but I have just started AF now :-/
For the past month I have been taking 2 flintstone vitamins a day. One in the morning and one at night.
Hopefully we will have better luck this month and I'll be here to stay =P
I started the prenatals about 4 months before ttc...I figured an extra amount of the vitamins can't hurt!
My OBGYN said it's best for a woman to continue taking her prenatal between pregnancies as well because pregnancy drains us of so many of our nutrients. She said continuing the prenatals helps us rebuild our stores so that we are ready for the next pregnancy if it comes or so that we just get back to a healthy state after having our babies.
I always take prenatals because I love what they do for my hair and nails. That is really interesting about the autism correlation though.
Does anyone have any suggestions for chewable pre-natal vitamins?
I slacked off on taking mine a few months after stopping BFing DS in spring of 2010 and started taking them regularly again in January, knowing that we'd plan for a baby this year. This month I added a DHA supplement as well.
