Extra vitamins?

Question

Anyone else have a MFM recommend you take extra vitamins on top of your prenatals because you’re having twins? My MFM recommended taking several additional vitamins three (?!) times a day. I’m just curious how everyone else’s experiences differed and what, if anything, extra did they have you taking?

Answer

Extra iron, extra folic, and a baby aspirin. I kind of wish I had known before 12 weeks though. First trimester would have been ideal to get that extra folate on board.

Answer

Just iron with the prenatal

Answer

Mine recommended Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium, and D3. I found a combo pill at Costco that has all 4. Dosage is 2 pills/ day.

Answer

My dr has me taking regular prenatal plus an iron. I’m extremely worried about this as I also had gastric bypass surgery May 2017 so already struggle with getting all my levels where they’re suppose to be plus having twins! 😞

Answer

I took iron and extra folic acid, and I still ended up with anaemia. I guess you really do need a lot of extra nutrients for your two little ones.

Answer

I'm taking 162 mg aspirin night, prenatal, calcium 2x a day, iron, and a folic acid supplement all prescribed by my MFM doctor

Answer

Regular pregnancy takes a lot away from you. Twins take almost everything so really its within reason.
