Prenatal Vitamins

Hi ladies! I was wondering, is it silly to take prenatal vitamins when trying to conceive? I bought some and was going to start taking them while we're trying to conceive, but I thought maybe it was too early. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you :)

Hi Amanda,


Actually my doctor recommends taking prenatal vitamins three months before conceiving so I would start taking them right away. I am taking them and I feel great!

No way, start taking them now! I started taking them right before I got pg w/my first, over 5 years ago! I have been taking them ever since! They are good for you, and even better for the unborn baby you are hoping for!!

I've been told that it is a good idea. Unfortunately they can make you constipated so get out the prune juice.

You can get a RX for prenatals or take OTC. My dr pres them as soon as I said we were going to start TTC. I think it makes me feel better. :)

I've been taking mine for a little over a month now and feel a bit better taking them. Knowing your starting off right is a good piece of mind. Good Luck.

Oh great so they can make you constipated? Oh well! Whatever will help make a healthy baby is all that matters! I appreciate everyone's comments! Good luck to everyone as well!!!

I have not had the constipation problem but they do tend to make me sick if I take them on an empty stomach...
