My husband and I are ttc, this is our second month. Should I start taking prenatal vitamins? Or not until I get that BFP

Question

BFP" />

Answer

I was taking a super B complex vitamin. My doctor said I could just keep taking that as it had 400mg of folic acid in it which is a full daily value. She said once I became pregnant I'd need to switch to prenatal for the extra. If you take a daily multi check if it has folic acid if it does you're okay. If you don't take anything yes you should have already been taking something before TTC

Answer

Definitely folic acid shush should be taken from 3 months before conception. Prenatals can start once you know you are pregnant.

Answer

I started taking prenatals months before I even started TTC

Answer

I was told I didn't necessarily need to take prenatals but to take folic acid to help protect against neural tube defects !

Answer

I was told to take them while ttc

Answer

I took a "trying to concieve" vitamin. I think it was by First Response.

Answer

I doctor told me to take them while TTC. Having those nutrients there on hand for when you do get pregnant will give your body a huge help. Also, prenatals make some women feel a little queasy at first. Definitely made me queasy the first couple of weeks, but I was using them months before I got pregnant, so by the time I got pregnant I was super used to them. My friend started taking them when she got pregnant and taking them on top of the morning sickness always made her throw up, so she wasn't actually able to keep them down until the second trimester. So my recommendation: take them now!!
