I'd just switch the multivitamin for a prenatal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098584 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 20:37:26 +0000 simplyfelicity 2098584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your multivitamins don't expire for a long time, I would save them for later and start taking the prenatals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098443 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 17:39:21 +0000 gallirask 2098443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @jengirl. Super helpful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098441 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 17:36:11 +0000 JenGirl 2098441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd just switch the multivitamin to a prenatal. But if you want to use up the multivitamins you have, you could just take an additional folic acid suppliment until you run out of the multivitamins. Also, my husband is a pharmacist and he recommended that I just use generic prenatals because he doesn't think that there's any real difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098029 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:18:11 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2098029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a prenatal multivitamin, plus calcium/D and DHA. Still do while pregnant. Some people add iron as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098022 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:07:09 +0000 gallirask 2098022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @anya thats kinda what I was trying to figure out. I will probs just switch for the time being to a prenatal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098020 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:04:39 +0000 Anya 2098020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a prenatal vitamin is a multi vitamin with usually extra folic acid and other things relevant to pregnancy and breastfeeding.. you don't need to take both. Or you could keep your regular routine and add folic acid. Or you could see what your obgyn recommends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098015 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:01:42 +0000 gallirask 2098015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowjewelz But were you taking other vitamins too? Or just the prenatal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098014 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:00:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2098014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started on prenatals when I TTC'd... Figured if I need it when I get pregnant, might as well just start! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-2#post-2098003 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 12:54:47 +0000 gallirask 2098003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently take a multivitamin as well as D, C, B.<br /> We are TTC and I've read its a good idea to start prenatal while TTC.<br /> Should I just add a good prenatal or should I be substituting it for the multivitamin? OR should I just add folic acid?<br /> Feel confused! </p>
