Avatar m tn For most of us, if we eat a reasonable diet we don't need to take supplemental vitamins. Still a simple multivitamin would not do any harm. I take them myself, but I am a senior and older people some times need extra vitamins because their digestive systems are not as good as they once were. If you have a "pass" from a cardiologist I would guess you heart is fine. If you have some anxiety, a vitamin may help, mentally and physically.
Avatar f tn Along with eating healthy food, I take several vitamins a day. I take 1 multi-vitamin, 2 calcium, 3 fish oil, 1 vitamin c, 1 vitamin e, 2 resveritrol, and 1 inositol. I was wondering if thy are vitamins I should be taking, or if I should eliminate some of them. If so, which ones.
6807839 tn?1386436725 I have found foods that provide the same nutrition and vitamins as the prenatals but my midwife thinks i should take them. Before we had prenatals out grandparents did it the old fashion way.
Avatar f tn I didn't take vitamins. Prenatal vitamins made me sick. Take a prenatal vitamin if u want, and the Dr. Should have done blood tests to see how good Ur iron and everything is. I wouldn't take anything that the Dr. Doesn't tell me.
613471 tn?1244201788 As You may or not be aware I lost my baby this week, I was wondering if I should still take my prenatal vitamins? I was not sure because I am so weak I didn’t know if it would help or not….any ideas ladies? Or has anyone had a miscarriage that can help me know what I can do to get my strength back?
Avatar f tn Has anyone heard of prenatals causing a miscarriage? I mean its a LOT of vitamins you take at once all random. I mean that seems like a lot for your body without working up to it. Or should I just kick myself in the butt and start taking it?
Avatar f tn When taken early on they greatly help the fetus...

Avatar f tn My doctor said they are to help you get the vitamines most people do not get from their food.
Avatar f tn hi i am a ftm and i am 28 weeks pregnant and i have not taken my vitamins how they should i take them like once in a blue moon but not everyday how i should is that bad ? I dont take them because they make me feel sick :( n then i forget also ?
Avatar f tn U should be fine, back then they didn't have vitamins and people turned out to be fine. When I was 8 weeks I stopped taking my vitamins because of vomiting, now I'm 13 weeks trying to get back on it. My docotr said its okay as long as I get back on the vitamins or find away to take them.
Avatar f tn I can't take prenatal vitamins either, and sometimes the Flintstones ones make me sick too. I'm 18 weeks and still have horrid morning sickness. My ob says that the baby is very selfish and even if you aren't eating perfectally it will still suck the nutrients it needs from you. So fear not, I'm sure baby's fine :) you can only do the best you can.
Avatar f tn Most doctors won't c u before 8 or 9 weeks anyways bc u can 't really c anything on the u/s. And it is really important to take your vitamins ASAP. And jus remember some people dnt find out they are pregnant till 2 or 3 months and have yet to do anything bout it till they find out and still have healthy babies.
Avatar f tn I didn't take my prenatals with my first baby he came out very healthy no problems and hes on the thick side tall this second pregnancy I didn't take them either because they bring up nausea. Just remember to eat well lots of dairy protein fruits and veggies every day and you won't need them .
Avatar n tn Vitamin K supplements (K1 and K2) are dangerous to the kidneys (and liver) and should be avoided by all people, especially since many people have less than perfect kidneys, but don't realize it - if your kidneys cannot properly process high levels of vitamin K, then you get vitamin K toxicity and kidney damage. Don't trust any online doctor or anyone who recommends vitamin K2 and claims vitamin K2 (and K1) has no serious risks.
Avatar f tn I take gummie vitamins idk if I should still be taking prenatals along with or what
Avatar n tn although I've been failing to take my prenatal vitamins, my baby is still healthy and growing accordingly thank the Lord. my mother in law was telling me not to worry, they didn't give her prenatal vitamins when she was pregnant with her first and my sister in law is healthy, & smart. with that being said I try not to feel so guilty but I do still try to take it as often as my body can handle it. especially since I've lost 15 lbs since being pregnant.
Avatar f tn s a reason they tell you take them dear. It will help with healthy development plus help you because all your nutrients are going to baby. I know some people have different opinions but in my eyes anything I can do to benefit my baby and help him be more healthy I will do it specifically something so easy as taking a pill.

Avatar f tn I take my vitamins at night before bed really helped because I had morning sickness so bad.
428345 tn?1204210648 I take them though still just in case.
Avatar n tn everyone keeps pressuring me to take them and its mad annoying bcuz so far my baby is active luke it should and healthy as far as any of tge doctors can tell...my question is: can i continue my pregnancy without having to have any prenatal vitamins? How can i stop ppl from hounding me about not taking any?
10216428 tn?1408618980 I'm not sure but back in the day I'm sure women didn't have oral vitamins to take daily other than food. I'm sure you'll be fine. (By the way, I'm 34 weeks aswell and same happens to me.. I keep forgetting probably because I'm always in a rush so I've been taking it right before bed. Working while pregnant *****..) Good luck with everything.
Avatar f tn do u have to take vitamins everyday??? my bd was supposed to bring me some more last night n he never did n idk when I will get anymore...I know I need them but if he doesn't bring me any then I won't have them...
Avatar f tn It depend on how healthy your diet is. Maybe you can switch to the gummie kind. I was getting sick from my prenatal too and my doctor switch me to the gummies. You can buy it in the store, it's a little weaker than the pill and it has no iron in it. It does have DHA which is very good for the baby's growth. Try it, you might like it.
318582 tn?1248118551 I guess the centrum silver and it's clones must be the only non-iron multi out there, since we all found it. If' it's a vitamin designed for older folks (Not that I ain't silver myself), why do you suppose healthy seniors should not take iron?
