Is it okay to take Pre-Natals when TTC?

Question

I have been taking pre-natals since end of 2018 and haven’t been lucky with pregnancy yet. If my period came I stopped taking them during that week. But my question is, is it safe to take pre-natals for this long? Aren’t the daily vitamin dose amount intended for pregnant woman bodies? A woman’s body during pregnancy goes through so many changes and produces nearly 30-50% more blood volume to support the growing baby. I don’t want to just stop either because if we do get lucky, I don’t want to put my baby at risk for spina bifida. Do you know if it’s safe to keep taking pre-natals for this long? Should I just switch over to a daily multivitamin for women?

Answer

You should be fine. The reason for taking them before is the folic is what is necessary for babies early development. It's suggested to start taking them at least 3 months prior to ttc.

Answer

When I was trying for my first and I called the doc for some other questions they recommended starting a prenatal right away. You're good to keep taking them!

Answer

Taking prenatals this long won’t effect anything. I’ve been on them for 5 years and take more on the side due to deficiency’s. It just prepares your body for a pregnancy, it’s basically a multi-vitamin

Answer

You're body will pee out whatever vitamins and minerals it doesn't need or want. No need to worry
