Question About Vitamins Posted: 07-26-05 09:25am
Is anyone already taking prenatal vitamins
(even if you are not yet pregnant)? Are
all prenatal vitamins created equal?
Anyone heard anything about prenate elite
prenatal vitamins? My doc just gave me a
prescription.
Anyone heard anything about vitamins
interefering with the results of a
pregnancy test? I mean, it often change
the color of your urine and I am guessing,
the chemical composition.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I've read on the "materna" prenatal vit.
Website that it is recommended to take
prenatal vits. While you are trying to
have a baby. From what I read, the
reason is to make sure you have enough
folic acid in your body for the baby's
developement and help prevent against
birth defects. I am taking them now for
about a month since my husband and I are
trying to concieve. Prenatal vitamins
are like an everyday vitamin except are
formulated to have higher folic acid
levels and iron. I don't know if they
interfere with taking pregnancy tests, so
maybe test before you take your pill.

I've just started taking materna vitamins
( just over 5 weeks pregnant). Some
vitamins will make you sick, although I
haven't had any problems so far with mine.
If that happens i've read that you can
take two flinstone childrens vitamins with
a folic acid pill.
