Prenatal Pills Why? Posted: 10-19-04 23:26pm
Why are they so important besides the
iron. When I took them with I had my
miscarriage everything was fine but when I
started taking them my body went ww3 on em
no joke. Like I got everyside effect it
wasnt fun. So if I am forsure pregnant
now, I dont wanna take them things
again...

Every pregnancy is different though! A
lot of times all of your pregnancy's will
be nothing alike. I've heard of people
that have a pregnancy where they are reall
sick all the time and the same person can
get pregnant and have no symptoms the next
time. Prenatels are soooooo important
though. You can't get all the nutrients
your baby needs by eating. Folic acid is
one you really need as well as calcium.
Folic acid helps prevent birth defects and
calcium is something your body get's
depleated while pregnant. Take them
anyways and see how things go. If it's
getting bad and you don't think you can
handle them ask your doc what to do.

They just adjust everything in your body
making u all healthy and prepped for
mommyness but pauls all mommy pro now and
said they wont hurt u at all if u wanna
keep takin em.... They are just extra
vitamins
Have you talked to your doc about the side
effects your getting, maybe he can switch
you to a different prenatal vitamin, it
could just be the one you are currently
taking making you get sick. Unless your
body just rejects them.

There are many brands of prenatal vitamins
and you can even buy them at the
drugstore,so try a few different ones
until you find one that your body likes.I
was once told by a health nut that if you
can drop a vitamin in a cup of vinegar and
it dissolves in less than 30 minutes, then
that vitamin will react the same way in
your stomache.If it does not dissolve in
that time,it has too many additives and
can lead to stomache upset.Some people
cannot tolerate pill vitamins and need to
use the liquid form,these are often found
at health food stores.Good luck to
you.Patty
Or it could also make you sick if you take
it on an empty stomach, most vitamins are
meant to be taken like that mine are but
if you are taking them without food, try
eating first then taking the pill so it
wont dissolve as quickly.
