Prenatal Vitamins

I was wondering, becuase I don't know if I
eat well enough if it's ok for me to take
two prenatal vitamins? Before I had told
my parents and I had found out from a home
pregnancy test I bought a bottle of them
at Walgreens. Once my parents found out,
I went to a doctor and they gave me a
perscription to take them. I have only
been taking one, but I just wanna be
better safe then sorry so I wanted to know
if I can take both the one from Walgreens
and the Perscription, or would that be too
much vitamins to take in since the
prenatal is such a strong one that taking
another one would hurt me or the baby?

what about just a daily multivitamin with
it? Would that be safe?

everything you need should be in your
prenatal. too much of some of the stuff in
vitamins is bad.

You should only take the vitamins that
your doctor prescribed you. That should
have plenty of everything that you need.
If it will make you feel better, you can
always call your doctor and ask them.
That's what they're there for.

When my doctor prescribed me with my
prenatal vitamins, he told me to stop
taking my regular multivitamin. The
prenatal's have enough of everything in
them that you do not need to supplement
with an extra one. If you are still
worried, call your doctor and get his/her
opinion. You can also try eating a
healthier diet too.

Do NOT take two prenetal vitamins at a
time! That is EXTREMELY unhealthy for you
AND the baby. Look on the back of the
bottle and take one when it says, don't go
under or over that line.

To much iron... and I'm pretty sure other
vitamins/minerals will hurt your child...
I'm positive about the iron though. Just
take the Dr.'s prescription! I think it is
great you are trying to do everything you
can for your baby though. and
congratulations!
