Does anyone have the kind of prenatals
that you take one in the morning and one
in the night time?

i was taking natal (an rx name brand) but
stopped because I kept forgetting. I

Anybody who are pregnant should for sure
be taking folate, and also at least in 2nd
part of the pregnancy also take iron.
Those are rather important for a safe
pregnancy and a healthy child. So please
don't ignore the pnvs.

well, the iron is for
you. And the folate really should be
taken from even before you get pregnant
till at least the end of the embryonic
stage, 8 weeks after conception to
significantly reduce the risk of birth
defects. However, it is not quite as
urgent as it used to be, as we now get
some of it in fortified grain products.

I have a lot of trouble swallowing pills,
and I told my doctor that I havent been
taking them but ive been taking flinstones
instead and he said thats fine, as long as
im taking something. Oh and I take my
iron pills b/c im anemic (theyre small).
I hate those stupid pills but my friends
will bug me to death about em'. They are
freaking guy's!! I am starting to be able
to stomach them now so I am better about
taking them and because I know they are
important for my child.
I didn't take them in the first trimester
because allt hat iron made me sickto my
stomach. I was really good about them in
the second trimester, and now I always
forget. Mine taste like vanilla. It's
gross though.

Eww! I cant explain what mine taste
like...Maybe they do taste like
vanilla....Whatever it is makes me gag
You lucky health forum, mine are huge.
And they smell like they taste. I swear
it's this gross vanilla-like taste. I
remember the old ones I used to take.
They were so cute, they were capsules that
were pink on one half and blue on the
other.
