When to stop taking prenatal vitamins

Question

There's lots of different info out there; some research says the vitamins are no longer necessary at 12 weeks, others say 20 weeks and others say take them all the way through.. Which to believe !

Answer

Well my doctor recommends to take them after your delivery and continue taking them until you are done breast feeding. I don't understand why you would stop.

Answer

Talk to your doctor about it but I took them while trying to get pregnant and won't stop until I stop nursing.

Answer

I would say all the way through. Why not? You and baby need the extra nutrients.

Answer

Um...you're supposed to take them the entire pregnancy, and then continue afterwards if you're breast feeding.

Answer

They made me sick. I took them till about 20 weeks. You can up your vitamins through the food you eat to compensate after the first 12 weeks. As long as you're giving your body what it needs that way, then it's fine.

Answer

Take them until you stop breast feeding. Some ingredients are more beneficial in the first trimester, some in the second, and some in the third. When breast feeding the baby takes as much nutrition as possible so you need to keep taking them to avoid deficiency

Answer

You don't stop taking them!

Answer

Yes all the way through pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Answer

I plan on taking them the whole pregnancy and for as long as I breastfeed

Answer

Started taking them as soon as I found out I was pregnant & I don't plan on stopping until I'm done nursing my little one.
