I slacked after weaning and before getting a BFP but now I'm back to taking them daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1420354 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:22:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 1420354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was good about taking them during the first trimester, but seriously slacked off after that. My OB wasn't too concerned though, thank goodness, and I took a crapload of DHA (over 1,000mg) a day during my 2nd and 3rd trimesters to help battle inflamation and pelvic pain so I figured that was sort of good enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1420276 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:55:13 +0000 Torchwood 1420276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Started several months before ttc, and still going strong at 10w5d. I've had days they were hard to get down from nausea, but I've managed to force them all but one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1420229 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:42:02 +0000 Mrs. J 1420229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I will be on them forever--we're looking at 4 kids. 1 down, three to go... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1420132 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:10:03 +0000 jhd 1420132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The gummy ones are much easier for me to take so that's what I do. I started taking regular gummies over a year before ttc and then started prenatal gummies several months before ttc. It's just a habit now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1420118 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:04:47 +0000 psw27 1420118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember during the work week because they are on my desk but I don't remember as well on the weekends. I haven't taken my omega-3s because they upset my stomach since getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1420005 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:27:57 +0000 swedishfish 1420005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I've taken one everyday since October 2011. My OBGYN told me to start 3 months before TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1420001 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:26:31 +0000 autumnlove 1420001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I started taking them a few days before my first BFP....a friend with gorgeous hair told me it was her secret. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419981 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:22:32 +0000 theknest 1419981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty good about it - struggled during the first tri when I had awful MS. </p> <p>I'll continue taking them after the baby is here too - I'm super paranoid about postpartum hair loss - so I will stay on top of taking them for the extra folic acid. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419571 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 05:40:56 +0000 Beyond2 1419571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the last couple years I've been pregnant, breastfeeding, and pregnant again while still breastfeeding and in that time I've had the same bottle of vitamins that is still practically full. I've only taken my prenatal a handful of times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419537 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 01:45:14 +0000 sandy 1419537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took prenatals religiously for a long time - like a year before we started TTC; all through my pregnancy even though I had terrible nausea until week 25; and all through breast feeding for 14 months. Then I just kind of let it go and now I have all this guilt towards future baby #2. I started taking them again now that we're officially TTC but I forget sometimes :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419520 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 01:08:47 +0000 Kimberlybee 1419520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am strict about taking my vitamins. I take a prenatal, B12, and also vitamin D. I am 9 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419511 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:54:13 +0000 QBbride 1419511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really bad at remembering to take my prenatal (I'm 8 months postpartum now but still nursing). Then again I almost never took it while I was pregnant, just 1mg folic acid in T1... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419499 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:29:49 +0000 SweetMamaM 1419499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take my prenatals every day plus my prescribed iron supplement; I feel like my diet is significantly limited at the moment being pregnant and the additional nutritional benefits are useful - not just the folic acid/iodine benefits. I'm not sure how long I'll continue with the vitamin once nursing, even though it is marketed as a nursing vitamin as well. I think it will depend on my diet. I'll probably have to continue with the iron for a while though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419397 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:52:14 +0000 rattles 1419397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been seriously slacking lately. I'm still breastfeeding LO (14 months), and I was religious about it for the last two years. Since Christmas though, I can't seem to remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419396 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:50:29 +0000 bisous 1419396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I am nursing and take rainbow light and a DHA supplement everyday before I go to bed. I discovered rainbow light was the only brand that doesn't upset my stomach when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419392 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:47:56 +0000 indi 1419392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them and split them up between morning and night. I sometimes forget the night ones, but I just add them into the morning then when I'm doing my makeup and having my tea. It's just part of my morning routine now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419374 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:37:56 +0000 snowjewelz 1419374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Taking them to TTC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419335 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:18:00 +0000 singingbee 1419335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I have a little pill box that has all my medicine in it. I take allergy and another pill each day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419314 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:10:20 +0000 anandam 1419314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really good about it preconception and first trimester, but sort of started forgetting in the second. Now approaching the third and getting back into it. Mine are three times a day and for a while there I was lucky to remember once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419301 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:04:39 +0000 artsyfartsy 1419301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: yup! I take mine at night before bed so it helped. I could sleep through any extra nausea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419282 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:56:25 +0000 Greentea 1419282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I take them all at once though they are supposed to be taken three times a day... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419251 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:41:03 +0000 bookwormmama 1419251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup everyday! I take the gummies as well. I plan to take them as my multivitamin until we are done having kids. A doctor suggested this to me and I thought it was a pretty good idea since it's basically a multivitamin for women TTC, pregnant or breastfeeding! I have them on my nightstand and take it before bed. It is a lot easier to remember since they are sitting out right there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419234 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:34:07 +0000 mfa_lady 1419234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah! Gummies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419229 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:31:13 +0000 MoonMoon 1419229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: oh wow, that is quite the regimen! I tried to make sure to eat/drink fortified cereals, juices, milks, pasta etc when I wasn't taking the vitamin like I should.<br /> Now PP, I make sure to take a DHA oil and/or drink my DHA fortified milk regularly, at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419227 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:30:46 +0000 nana87 1419227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been really good about it since bfp! I was pretty bad at it while ttc though, but now it's routine. I have to take an extra iron supplement 2x/day now in addition and that's a little harder for me to remember since I have to time it right with when I eat... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419223 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:27:01 +0000 MoonMoon 1419223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: glad to know I wasn't alone!<br /> @grizz: yum, I should pick some up, might be the incentive I need!<br /> @Danizaur: that is awesome! Even through morning sickness?<br /> @lawbee11: switching to nighttime made a huge difference for nausea, that's when I take mine too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419219 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:25:42 +0000 Ree723 1419219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm terrible about remembering to take them! I was good about my folic acid+iodine pill in the first tri, but after that, it was hit or miss whether or not I'd take them all.</p> <p>To be fair, because I really suck at swallowing pills, I did have quite the prenatal regimen - two chewable prenatals, two fish oil gummies, one calcium/Vit D supplement, and the folic acid/iodine pill. Now that I'm PP and BF'ing, I'm trying to be really good about the calcium and fish oils as I think those are super important for my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419213 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:22:55 +0000 lawbee11 1419213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm 6 months PP and still take one at night because I'm BFing. It's part of my nighttime routine now so it's sorta habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-a-prenatal-vitamin-every-day#post-1419209 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 21:22:17 +0000 artsyfartsy 1419209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Everyday! I've never missed a day since we were TTC actually. </p>
