I want to get pregnant soon, so I don't think I'll stop taking them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343376 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 16:07:05 +0000 Eko 2343376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them until I stopped nursing and started up again since it flu season and I had them (and not a general multi-vitamin). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343312 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:27:52 +0000 Mommy Finger 2343312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's part of my nightly routine! I got into the habit of taking them before bed since they used to upset my stomach if I took it any other time when I was first pregnant with DS1. Now I just keep them on my nightstand along with my water bottle and it's one of the last things I do. I plan on taking prenatals until I'm done nursing and then will continue the habit with another multi vitamin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343288 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:11:41 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2343288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I completely forgot to take them once DS was born and I nursed for a year. Woooops. Taking them again now while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343284 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:09:19 +0000 Happygal 2343284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still taking them and a DHA supplement. I will continue b/c I'm nursing and we're NTNP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343257 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:50:53 +0000 NovBaby1112 2343257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: @hellobeeboston: @2littlepumpkins: thanks! Good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343256 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:50:51 +0000 Mrs D 2343256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB suggested as long as I was nursing...my family Dr said there is basically no harm in prenatals so he recommends all his patients take prenatals until they decide they are done having children...so I have taken mine since 10/2012 through now...(currently pregnant) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343255 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:49:44 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2343255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I continue to take them while nursing LO#2. I did the same for for LO#1. It also helped when I started losing my hair pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343250 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:47:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2343250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them religiously for as long as I was nursing (till 9 mo). I still take them randomly since I have this one bottle.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343244 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:44:55 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2343244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't even take them while pregnant but actually I'm doing better now so maybe I should try. I'm only pumping a very little bit and planning to 100% ff soon though. But I remember they made my nails really strong my first pregnancy!</p> <p>@NovBaby1112: what @mrsjyw: said but my OB has always said baby will take what he needs, the vitamins are more for mom to stay healthy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343227 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:39:39 +0000 Alivoo01 2343227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't stop till I quit nursing, per my OB's recommendation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343226 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:39:38 +0000 blackbird 2343226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just take a regular multi </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343225 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:39:01 +0000 hellobeeboston 2343225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: my doc said just to take any vitamin while nursing. Not necessarily prenatal vitamins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343224 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:38:19 +0000 mrsjyw 2343224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: I think the baby gets the nutrients through our milk. DS1 is a 99%+ though so I'm not all momguilt about not taking them while nursing him though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343221 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:36:14 +0000 NovBaby1112 2343221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops I stopped taking them! Why are they important to take while nursing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343219 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:35:02 +0000 nana87 2343219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: my ob told me to still take them while nursing so I have no excuse! I just hate taking them! I'm terrible at remembering and the dha supplement leaves a terrible aftertaste even though I'm swallowing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-take-prenatals#post-2343214 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:32:59 +0000 mrsjyw 2343214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: Yea I never kept up while nursing ds1.
