I'm 26 weeks today & I haven't really taken any prenatal vitamins in the last 3 months. Ima get bck on my prescription vitamins on Monday & take them daily until she's born. Am I too late for something serious in her health already????
I take them because the vitamins help with the baby's development and she absorbs what she needs from your body like taking calcium from your teeth and bones.. so you need the vitamins as much as baby does.
most of the sites that do this charge a fee. The site to calculate your daily caloric needs (and a variable day/consistent week total) is: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
While most people report a large & quick weight loss initially on the zig-zag, there is disagreement as to whether it is a lasting weight loss.
however, you need to be vigilant in eating the combination foods and eating enough food daily so your body gets the protein, and nutrients it needs. As a vegetarian you should be getting all your vitamins and minerals from the foods you ate except Vitamin B12 and maybe Calcium (if you have a history of bone disease in your family). Vitamin B12 supplementation you need to take because it comes from meat sources and it not available through vegetarian diet.
I was wondering if I should take additional folic acid and vitamin b12. I am already taking my prenatals but the last ultrasound I had the Dr said he saw a very slight curvature in the lumbar spine that could either go away throughout the end of this pregnancy or get worse. Either way I'm being careful with my diet due to being a diabetic before pregnancy. I am going to ask the specialist at my next appt, but I heard someone say it would be good. Any advise?
You can call the nurse and ask. It just depends what your prenatals already cover and what your body needs.
I went to the pharmacy for a refill and the pharmacist was very surprised that I am taking both vitamins. She said that they both have the same ingredients, except that the one has DHA in it. It's like I am taking double dose.
Do you have any ideas if it's dangerous for my baby? I am in my 19th week. I wrote to my doc, he hasn't answered yet.
Okay, here we go again. Dairy is not a good source of calcium, because it has no balance of magnesium -- Americans get way more calcium than they need generally and not enough magnesium, so dairy is not a good source of calcium. Nor does dairy naturally have Vitamin D in it -- some manufacturers add it in. The only natural way to get Vitamin D is to go in the sun at peak hours.
Wow yeah you should definitely get a prenatal. Folic acid is good, but there may be other nutrients the baby needs he may not be getting from that particular pill. If you're looking for a specific brand, I use Brainstrong, which includes DHA (good for their little brain development), but most of the major prenatal vitamins will give you what they need.
ve been taking the prenatal vitamins from Costco (Kirkland brand). They are cheaper and almost has the same stuff as the other brand. He said it's ok to continue the Costco brand one. All he prescribed after was extra folic acid and iron supplements that I took until about 7 months. Now, all I am taking is the prenatal vitamin and I am 38w3d.
Well, the article doesn't mention a few things which are that malabsorption syndromes can cause the body not to absorb vitamins so the study wasn't exactly thorough in that it left out some important issues in absorbing vitamins. It is not necessarily adding to in every case that is important but also finding out the best way for our bodies to absorb the vitamins.
I'm on the Similac brand prenatal vitamins. My husband who is a body builder picked them out for me because he's the supplement king so he stood in the isle for 20 minutes comparing all of the brands & says that was the best one.
I agree with octmommy2015, they're beneficial but women in other decades as well as countries haven't taken them and their babies are healthy! But I must admit they do wonders for your hair and nails!
If your body is unhealthy, then the mind will be as well. All the vitamins, minerals protiens etc. that the body needs, so does your brain. If your body is lacking the proper nutrients, then it also lacks the essential amino acids that the brain needs to make and maintain the chemistry (neurotransmitters) levels it requires.
Depending on the degree of cirrhosis, some people might not have enough of the key minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (which are vitamins K, A, D, and E) that the body requires. However, a balanced diet should easily provide these and in the rare case when it doesn't, your doctor can prescribe a supplement.
There are two things you should avoid: alcohol and high-fat foods. For people with cirrhosis, regardless of the cause, alcohol should be completely avoided.
