BFP!!- Vitamins Question

Hi,

Just found out I am pregnant on Friday. I have an appointment coming up on Tuesday and I had a question about viamins.

Do I take vitamins X 2 from here on? I normally take 1 Multivitamin with vinerals and 1 Prenatal (been taking them for over a year) a day. Along with my other supplements. Just curios if I should increase any of that.

I will be 2 years Post Op on July 31st, and I have been on maintenance for the last 9 months or so.  I am 32 but this is my first pregnancy in 16 years, so I am very rusty LOL.

We were TTC for 4 years before surgery, and I went off BCP in November, so it has been a long wait. I am super excited but super nervous at the same time. I am also a Thyroid cancer survivor. So I know mine is considered a High Risk P{regnancy. I am keeping my fingers crossed all goes well. :D

Lots of baby dust to you and I hope it all works out ok.  CONGRATS!

As far as the vitamins, as long as you keep getting your levels checked throughout pregnancy I don't think you'd need to increase what you are taking, though you may consider switching to 2 prenatals instead of a normal vitamin because the Vitamin A in regular vitamins can sometimes be a form that is not so good for your baby.

My dr recommended no more than the prenatal vitamin, as long as my labs were coming back ok. Mine have been fine so far. Make sure you throw some extra folic acid in there, even if your dr prescribes it. I also still take my calcium supplement.

Congrats and lots of sticky dust your way!

Hey there, I'll be 2 years post op on Aug 31 and I'm just about 22 weeks preg right now.
Prior to conceiving I was taking 2 multi's, 2 calcium, vit D + extra Vit D cuz I was low + folic acid while I was TTC. Once I got preg my doc scrapped all of that and put me on Preg Vit, which is a prescription prenatal vit that has lots of iron and folic acid..It's 2 a day, one in the morning (pink) and one in the night (blue). Nothing more nothing less...

 They put me on a prescription prenatal once a day, and a regular over the counter prenatal once a day, plus told me to continue with the Iron, Calcium and Folic Acid Supplements. :)
