I also am NTNP, so probably will continue through pregnancy or until we decide we are definitely not TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2664413 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 16:04:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2664413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took mine religiously, but I was also motivated to also take an iron pill to keep up my energy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2664401 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 15:52:25 +0000 caterw 2664401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine whenever I remember- maybe 3-4 times a week? I am supposed to keep taking extra iron pills too and have been doing that sporadically as well. </p> <p>@Mama Bird: I forgot about the chewable ones- I took those with my first baby and not this one for some reason. I remember the Target ones being super tasty and I never forgot when I had those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663665 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 18:19:43 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 2663665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still taking mine but it's early on and my Doctor is concerned about my hemoglobin levels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663662 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 18:04:53 +0000 Purpledaisy 2663662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really took them when I was pregnant so I definitely don't remember to take them after 😬. Sometimes I'll take a gummy multi vitamin if I think too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663611 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 15:50:49 +0000 PawPrints 2663611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every single day until I felt comfortable DD was getting a great enough percentage of her diet from solids that it was okay for me to stop. I forget exactly when but she was over 12 months for sure before I felt okay stopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663554 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:52:01 +0000 psw27 2663554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take prenatals as my vitamin anyway, so I take them every day regardless of nursing, pregnancy, etc. I guess once we have decided I'm done having kids I should probably switch to a regular multivitamin? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663528 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:19:35 +0000 Bernieboo 2663528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was super intermittent when I was pregnant because I had nausea all 9 months and often couldn't stomach a pill. I am much better now as I just take it when I take my BC pill. Our pediatrician was adamant that I needed to continue taking it. Note that I'm off dairy, I try to be really consistent with my prenatal vitamin and a calcium supplement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663524 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:16:46 +0000 Mama Bird 2663524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them the whole time, but switched to chewables. They had lower doses of everything, but I can only deal with swallowing horse pills for so long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663518 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:07:53 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2663518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daily since the summer before I got pregnant with my fall baby so two years now. I used to take a multi anyway so I rarely forget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663509 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:52:00 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2663509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say when I remembered but I barely ever remembered. That's true in a fair amount of my pregnancy as well 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663503 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:44:31 +0000 petitenoisette 2663503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still nursing at 21 months and probably will until I get pregnant again so I really should be taking them! I forget most days because every once in a while they will make me feel super sick if I take them before eating breakfast so I will bring one with me to take once I've eaten but then forget to actually take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663502 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:42:11 +0000 MrsSCB 2663502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: All the people who say, "Instead of potato chips, try kale chips!" HAHA, you're cute... ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663486 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:32:02 +0000 Adira 2663486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on the mini pill while nursing, so I was just in the habit of taking a pill, so I took my prenatal at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663483 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:29:26 +0000 Mrsbells 2663483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i take it consistently </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663481 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:28:39 +0000 pwnstar 2663481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still taking my prenatals (and have added a calcium supplement and a probiotic as well) in light of the fact that I have had to eliminate most of the top 8 food allergens from my diet. Also, I tend to prefer potato chips to kale.</p> <p>I probably remember to take them ~5 days a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663480 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:28:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2663480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I just kept taking them until I ran out. I wanted my hair to grow back! I ended up switching to take biotin cause my hair loss was so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663474 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:16:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2663474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should and I mean to, but I forget most of the time. Like @MrsSCB: my diet isn't exactly stellar. Leftover chicken nuggets and cookies make a well rounded meal, right? </p> <p>My pediatrician/ lactation counselor said I should keep up with them since it's hard to get enough iron, specifically (vs just a regular Womens vitamin). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663472 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:13:24 +0000 MrsKoala 2663472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm probably an anomaly but I sadly stopped taking them halfway through both pregnancies because I couldn't stomach them and never started again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663471 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:12:24 +0000 MrsSCB 2663471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still taking mine, but partly because I'm not always super impressed by my own diet. Unless cake is a food group. :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-and-nursing#post-2663468 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:08:24 +0000 LCTBQE 2663468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been pretty spotty and not even really sure whether we're ideally supposed to be continuing with it... Kellymom says not necessary if you eat a good diet and enough calories. Just ran out of my vitamins and curious what everyone else has done. </p>
