Multivitamin instead of prenatal?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knows if I can continue taking my multivitamin, B vitamins (pics below) and folic (400 mcg) instead of prenatal? Prenatals are crazy expensive where I live so if it's unnecessary then I'd rather not buy them!

Answer

Wheni was pregnant with my second prenatals made me so sick. Dr told me to take 2 Flintstones instead

Answer

I take whole food supplements instead. I did with my last pregnancy as well and my little one is a healthy 2 year old. I make sure to get the appropriate levels of appropriate vitamins/minerals and have discussed with my OB. I don't get an upset stomach like I do with synthetic vitamins.

Answer

You need to make sure you're getting folic acid, which is very important in early pregnancy. So if that's in the vitamin you should be fine.

Answer

My dr said you could continue to take a multivitamin until 12wks then you really should take a prenatal. Hope that helps!

Answer

Iron is also very important so make sure you are getting enough. Most prenatals have more than a multi.

Answer

You need to talk to your dr about this. Prenatals are very important. Your insurance covers them anyways.
