what are you taking as a vitamin schedule while pregnant?
my OB gave me a script for vitamins... and looked puzzled when i started pulling all of my vitamins i take out of my backpack.... I guess he is WLS illiterate.... I guess i sorta assumed i could just continue taking my bariatric advantage and add in folic acid and be good....
just curious as to what you ladies take everyday now that you are pregnant.

The only thing to be leery of is the amount of vitamin A in terms of acetate or palmitate in your BA -- if it's in the form of beta carotene, you're golden.

Of course, we malabsorb a portion of the vitamin A in whatever form we take, so it's a question as to how much is too much anyway, but that's the real problem vitamin in prenatal care.

I take a prenatal

500mcg of b12

and  1500-2000 mg of calcium citrate (3 - 600mg a day)

my iron is good so I don't have to take anything else so far. but this is working and I know everyone is different. ur Doctor will let you know if u need anything different... then what your already doing...
