Hello!  My husband and I are going to start trying to get pregnant in a few months so I figured it was a good time to start prenatal vitamins.  But I have no idea what kind! I currently take 2 centrum chewables a day.  I also take carbonyl iron, vitamin D, calcium, b12.  

My dietitian said most any prenatal will work.  Anyone else have thoughts?  I couldn't find any bariatric specific prenatal vitamins online. If I just go with Nature Made or whatever is that okay?  And should I take one or two a day?

Thank you!!! :D

You should take twice the normal dose, I would assume, since that's what we are supposed to take when not pregnant.  But check with your surgeon and OB or midwife.
