Continuing prenatal vitamins after pregnancy?

Question

I've read it's a good idea to continue with the prenatal vitamins, postpartum, especially if you are breastfeeding. Was wondering, if those with children already, have done this? I just ordered a new bottle of vitamins and plan to use them once baby is here.

Answer

Yes. Absolutely. I haven't stopped since trying to conceive first kiddo. He's 3 1/2. Went from TTC, being pregnant, breast feeding, pumping, TTC, pregnant... 
When you're breastfeeding or pumping you need all of the extra nourishment for your body. :)

Answer

Yes. Absolutely. And consider adding a postpartum fish oil. Your body has a lot to recover from and is very depleted from pregnancy.

Answer

I did

Answer

I sure did.

Answer

Haven’t stopped taking them since trying to conceive with first child. Doctor told me that it is the best vitamin for women and recommend even people that don’t want kids to take them.

Answer

I'm going to continue taking them. Doesn't hurt to have extra vitimans for myself and baby.

Answer

I started taking them before getting pregnant with my first and just haven’t stopped taking them ever. There was only three months in there where I wasn’t pregnant or breastfeeding, so I just didn’t see the point in stopping. I’ll probably do the same this time too, even though we’re considering putting a little bit bigger of a gap between #2 and #3. (We already know we want at least 3 kids.) I don’t have any side effects from them, so I’ll probably keep taking them until I’m pretty sure we’re done having kids. It won’t hurt me and it’s already a habit, so I don’t see why I should stop.

Answer

I was always told to and did it for the beginning but then stopped them
