Prenatal vitamins
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.
