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.
-
I'm still taking mine, but partly because I'm not always super impressed by my own diet. Unless cake is a food group.
-
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.
-
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?
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).
-
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!
-
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.
I probably remember to take them ~5 days a week.
-
i take it consistently
-
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.
-
@pwnstar: All the people who say, "Instead of potato chips, try kale chips!" HAHA, you're cute...
-
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.
-
I would say when I remembered but I barely ever remembered. That's true in a fair amount of my pregnancy as well
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Still taking mine but it's early on and my Doctor is concerned about my hemoglobin levels.
-
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.
@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.
-
I took mine religiously, but I was also motivated to also take an iron pill to keep up my energy.
-
I take it most every day, but I've been on the Rainbow Light 35+ that has probiotics & other "good stuff", so feel they are worth keeping up on. I also am NTNP, so probably will continue through pregnancy or until we decide we are definitely not TTC.
