Answer

Ask your doctor..

Answer

My doctor said to keep taking my prenatals and I asked the same thing because I'm not breastfeeding and she said to just finish the bottle of them that I have. I never did haha. They are sitting up in my cabinet. I would have been taking them for a few months still because I had to buy more like a week before I had my baby. I just don't like them.

Answer

If it says on your discharge paper that your doctor wants you to continue taking prenatals then I would say yes

Answer

I've been taking prenatals since my mid 20s even though I wasn't TTC yet.  I recommend continuing taking them or atleast taking some sort of vitamin daily still.

Answer

I was told by a friend whose husband is a doctor that prenatal vitamins Are excellent for any woman of child bearing age, even if she doesn't plan on having children.

Answer

they probably just want you taking them because they are a very good multivitamin and your body is going through a lot of hormonal changes and physical recovery
