PreNatal Vitamins

Hi Everyone I was just wondering if any of you out there are taking prenatal vitamins? On Monday when I went for my 6 wk check up, Dr. said I can take Centrum vitamins. I am really concerned about losing my hair when the hair loss period comes so I asked about prenatal vitamins because I remember from when I was pregnant they have everything in them and my hair grew like a weed. Dr. said I could take them and that there are people who also take them. So, I got my prescription, paid my copay of $15.00 and got 180 pills for a 3 month supply--1 pill twice a day. Been on them since Monday and I feel wonderful--full of energy! Marianne

Hi Marianne, I don't take them but I have read posts where other women take them. They only take the prenatal like every other day or twice a week because it makes them want to eat more and slowed their weight loss down if they took them every day. It's been a while since I saw the posts but that is what I remember. You may want to post this on the main board and see what other repsonses you get. Lisa

I don't take them but I have heard of other people taking them even when they aren't pregnant. I plan on trying for another baby as soon as I get my gyno's approval and when I do I will start taking the prenatals then. My hair is already falling out. I was told tonight that eating the protein may help with it not coming out. I hope yours stays put. good luck Shannon

MArianne... I take them and have not had a problem...I take chewable Pre-Natals...and everything seems to be working out fine... HUGS Christine
