Prenatal vitamins

How many do you take? I'm taking OneSource (they're pink and not TOO big). Anyway, it says to take one if you're not pregnant and two if you are. Well, I'm not (yet, lol) but I'm not sure if I should just be taking two.

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks!

Hi Camille,

The most important vitamin you need to get while TTC is folic acid. You need to take at least 800mcg's and not more than 1,000mcg (or 1mg which is the same). How many mcg's does the prenatal vitamin have when taking two and taking one?


Taking the additional vitamins will not hurt you, but you need the folic acid.

Hope this helps.
