Vitamins?
Posted: 07-30-05 08:26am

I am about 4 and a half weeks pregnant (i assume). I wont be going to the doctor until my insurance kicks in in september!

What vitamins and how much of each should I be taking right now? I want to make sure I am doing everything I can for this baby! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If prenatal vitamins make you sick, take two flinstone vitamins, and a folic acid pill, that's what I had to do, because the prenatal vitamins made me sick.

Awesome guys, thank you so much for the advice! I had no idea that you could just go out and buy pre-natal vitamins all put together haha. I thought I would have to go out and buy bottles of different stuff and take like 4 pills every day. What a reliefe, thank you so much!

Well, I headed to the grocery store and for the life of me I could not find any pre-natal vitamins. It was kind of packed though, so maybe I was just missing it amongst all the people. I decided to pick up the flinstone vitamins and folic acid. My stomach happens to be very sensative, so I figured since I couldnt find the pre-natals today, I might as wall start with the flinstones lol. My insurance doesnt kick in until the middle of september, so when I head to the doctor then, I will tell him about what I am taking now and see if he accepts it or recommends something else. Thanks guys!
