Prenatals? Multivitamins?

Question

Can I take both?
If a prenatal is missing some calcium and magnesium.. should I also take a multivitamin? Thanks ladies. My first dr appointment isn’t until March 5th.

Yes you should add a separate supplement. Actually it’s very good that your prenatal is lacking calcium and magnesium because those two things are known to reduce the absorption of iron when taken at the same time. I’m currently taking Megafood Baby and Me 2 prenatals so I take this supplement in addition to my prenatal, but it’s best to wait at least 2 hours between your prenatal and the cal/mag supplement so they don’t interfere with the absorption.

Douglas Laboratories - Cal-6 + Mg. - Six-Source Calcium Complex with Magnesium to Support Healthy Bo
This is what I take on top of my prenatals. I’ve been on these for 4 years per my chiropractors recommendation due to injuries so I just kept up with my normal routine.
