So, I havent been able to get in to see my OB and wont unil 01/27/2011 and I am concerned about what vits I should be taking. I've added Folic Acid to the vits that I've been taking since surgery which are:

2 Centrum Silvers (half a pill 4 times a day)
Dry D
8 Citracal Petites (2 pilss 4 times a day)
Iron

Should I be taking a pre-natal vitamin? If so, can anybody recommend one that I can pick up OT****il my appointment? Also, do I add the pre-natal or replace my multis?

Any insight will be a huge help,
Mary

Hey Mary, here is a list of stuff I've been taking and was told to take daily while pregnant:

1 Prenatal Viatimin (Stuart Prental) or any other store brand prenatal
1 Mulit-Vitamin (Bariatric Advantage chewable)
B-12 Shot (once a month) I administer to myself
1 Bifera brand (Iron Supplement daily)
2 Citra Cal with D3 - (three times a day)

i take 3 vitagummies

Nasobal spray (B-12 nasal spray) 1 x week

ferrous sulfate? (iron.. but wont make you constipated)- and that is because the vitagummies are made more for kids.. and dont have a lot of iron in them.

calcium chews



i had a full vitamin pannel done 2 weeks ago, and other than low vit D, i looked good! (here in Wisc. we all have low vit D this time of year)
