I think I've been taking them pretty much non-stop since we first started TTC in 2012 (!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581491 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 08:42:01 +0000 bushelandapeck 2581491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD will be 21 mos in 2 days and I am still taking them when I remember (still nursing too). I have low iron levels so they help some with that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581488 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 08:39:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2581488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, until I switched to taking biotin for hair loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581460 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 07:59:11 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2581460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to remember to! I haven't kept up my iron supplements because those plus the pain meds (c section) ... I would never poop again. I'll start them back up again soon probably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581413 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 06:29:10 +0000 erinbaderin 2581413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor told me to, but I didn't. I also didn't take the full month of iron supplements she told me to take. I'm not a very good patient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581408 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 06:04:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2581408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still taking my prenatals while breastfeeding and will continue after since we are planning to TTC when our LO is a year old. </p> <p>I would encourage you to take your prenatals every day. At one point to make sure I didn't forget to take mine I kept a stash in my car and would take it with my coffee on the go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581392 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 01:31:06 +0000 red_seattle 2581392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took prenatals throughout my pregnancy, finished the bottle of pills after I have birth, then switched to a women's multivitamin. I'm breastfeeding and tend to have issues with anemia, but I haven't felt a strong need to take a prenatal or special breastfeeding vitamin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581391 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 00:48:31 +0000 PawPrints 2581391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, until she was over a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581390 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 00:41:26 +0000 youboots 2581390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes until I was done breastfeeding my daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581388 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 00:10:07 +0000 LindsayLou 2581388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I still take a prenatal vitamin 10 months pp, and will continue until I am done breastfeeding my last baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581384 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 23:04:37 +0000 FannyMae 2581384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, stopped taking them at 30 weeks as they gave me migraines (elevit). I tried the breastfeeding version, it also gives me migraines. I take vitamin D and magnesium whenever I remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581356 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 21:22:17 +0000 LAZB 2581356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I've been taking them for like four years straight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581350 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 21:04:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 2581350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should be but forget all the time.

I didn't want to deal with that after birth and didn't need the extra iron, so I took gummy prenatals while breast-feeding (I started taking these 3 weeks or so before birth because i did not want to be constipated after birth, things are already complicated enough down there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581325 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 20:07:10 +0000 autumnlove 2581325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am still taking prenatals because I am breastfeeding. I am still taking the same one-Naturemade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581324 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 20:06:36 +0000 Portboston 2581324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a brand who came out with a postnatal vitamin so I switched to that. New chapter maybe? I can't remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-your-pre-natals-even-after-birth#post-2581318 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 19:55:11 +0000 stiletto_mom 2581318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently taking Centrum Pre-natal (not religiously, maybe once every other or every two days). The box does say to keep taking it during breastfeeding.</p> <p>I'm curious to know if anyone continued their pre-natals after birth during breastfeeding, if you changed to another vitamin, or if you stopped taking vitamins completely? </p>
