Prenatalvitamins

My husband and I are looking to get pregnant in the next few months. Any input on prenatal vitamins?!?

I have to do the Chewable Prenantal Vitamins, all the other ones are huge & I have trouble swallowing them & getting stuck...they dont taste that bad either : )

Which chewable do you take?

target has chewy prenatals

My surgeon wanted me to continue on the Bariatric Advantage chewable regimine I have (multi, iron, b12 and calcium) but add additional folic acid (I use the solgar ones from a vitamin store). My OB agreed that this was the best approach due to absorption issues with RNY. My surgeon said that the regular prenatals are not great to digest for RNY people and the BA ones actually have more than enough of what I need and since I was already used to taking those doses I really haven't had issues with constipation that some have with the prenatals. I just had my labs run last week (I'm 24 weeks pg) and my levels have stayed exactly the same as when I first got PG.

I take Celebrate bariatric vitamins. My surgeon's office wanted me to change to prenatals, but my ob's office said to stay on what I'm on...   Sometimes that surgeon's office frustrates me ;)

My husband just told me last night that I am out of my Cleebrate vitamins, so now to decide what I'm going to take or order...

The ones I take are from my doctor & they are blue & called Select-OB : )

Take prenatals, or  at least  folic acid, before you even start. GB patients can be deficient and folic acid is essential in  the beginning  of pregnancy.
Good luck.
