    Anyone taking prenatals??

    Hello

    I have been taking my prenatals while doing my girl sway. I was wondering if anyone else is taking a prenatal?

    I am didn't take it today and I am considering stopping until I get a BFP.

    Thank you for any help!

    I take a prenatal every day and I have for a long time. I am also swaying pink. Why are you considering stopping? Because of the additional nutrition?

    Hi Yuzu Yes because of the nutritional value. I have seen it posted here several times not to take it while swaying.. but I have been doing just about everything else except not taking prenatals.

    Thank you so much for posting! I think I may continue to take them tomorrow.... it's such a hard decision for me...

    Hi Happyheart! My doctor told me to take prenatal vitamins after my last pregnancy and I got into the habit of it. I was NOT taking prenatals before I got pregnant with my boys, so I'm thinking I might as well do the opposite this sway. I also take daily fiber to kind of absorb any additional nutrition I get. I'm figuring that even if my fail sways at least I'll have a super healthy baby!

    No pre-natal for me, just the folic acid. I'll switch to a pre-natal once I'm pregnant but I only took them for around the first 12 weeks of my other pregnancies anyway.

    I was taking conception multivitamins when I got pregnant last time and had a boy, I'm not taking them this time around but will as soon as I see a BFP. The baby doesn't take any nutrients from you for a couple of months anyway so you have time to let the nutrients build up in your body even if you wait until a BFP before taking them

    I know you and I have already discussed this hh, but I just thought I'd chime in anyway. I took prenatals for month before conceiving all my boys. In fact, I've taken them non-stop since before I conceived my first boys since I take them while BFing too and I've pretty much been BFing and pregnant non-stop for the past 6 years. I was still taking them until about a month ago when it suddenly struck me that I'm suffering to deprive myself of nutrients on this diet, then here I was taking a pill that added many of those nutrients back into my body. I take two doses of folic acid a day but will switch back to a prenatal as soon as I get my BFP.

    I totally completely agree with this 1000% percent.

    Vits. A, B12, D, and E are stored by your body for several months and you will be getting plenty of the B's and C from the Low-Everything or French diets. As long as you're taking the folic acid you will be fine swaying without prenatals for a few months, just start them once you get a BFP!!!
