Prenatal Vitamins...

I have heard from other people that taking Prenatal Vitamins before and after surgery is good for me. Well, last night I was at Wally World, and I was looking through the clearance isle. I found 2 bottles of Nature Made Prenatal Vitamins. Each bottle has 250 tablets for only $5 each, so I got them both. But I got thinking this morning...is what I have heard correct? I was told that because Prenatal Vitamins have almost double the folic acid, zinc, and iron, that they are best to take. Just asking...Thanks!

I'm doing plastic surgery consults and one of them just recommended the same thing to me, to make sure I had sufficient iron and folic acid before surgery.   I got the Trader Joes brand you only have to take once a day.   I looked at the ingredients compared to the regular woman's formula and it was pretty similar except for those increases so it seemed safe enough.  Main concern is someone else seeing the bottle and leaping to the very wrong conclusions...

LOL....I know what you mean. When I was buying these last night, the cashier congratulated me on my pregnancy. I just said thank you and walked out...

I take these same vitamins, and got them off of the clearance rack at Wally World, too!  I have no issues taking them, they are easily absorbable, and I feel great!!!   Labs look good too!

I have been feeling great. I take the prenatal and 2000 IU of vitamin D right now, and I feel better than I have in years...
