Prenatal vitamins...yay or nay?

Question

So my husband and I are TTC and my doctor told me to get some prenatal vitamins. But I was reading on the bottle the other day that I shouldn't be taking them before I'm pregnant, and I read an article saying that I shouldn't until I know I'm pregnant. Should I take them before I get pregnant or wait? I'm very confused and would appreciate some insight😊 TIA

Answer

I was told to start taking prenatals as soon as I planned on trying. My doctor actually said that she tells people to start taking them if they plan on getting pregnant within a year. She told me that this is because women usually find out that they are pregnant after a lot of vital organs have already started to form.

Answer

Prenatal vitamins are the best multi vitamins you should take.  High in folic acid which well help in neural tube development which happens soon after fertilization

Answer

I was told by my doctor to take them 3 months prior when TTC. I've been taking them for 1 month now and we are TTC now.

Answer

Do it!!! Make sure though that whichever you're taking has 1000cu of folic acid. Not many do. Most you have to have a script for. Good luck!!!

Answer

I've been told that its best to have them 1-2 months consistently prior to getting pregnant to help with decreasing the nueral and spinal tube defects as well as lessening the chance of miscarriages. I say the sooner the better!
