PreNatal Vitamin Question

Hi, everyone-

My husband and I are TTC. I finally found a prenatal that I like after trying several from my obgyn. However, I am a little concerned because my obgyn and my pcp only want me doing the prenatal vit and the b12 injection. I am concerned that they dont really understand malabsorption. I moved cross country since my surgery 18 months ago so my surgeon isnt accessible and my new surgeon's team isn't as supportive. I was just curious what everyone else did for prenatals.

Thanks!

Holly

I have just continued with my regular wls regime of chewables--they have enough folic acid in them- I take bariatric advantage- 2 multi vit a day, 1 iron, 1 b12 and 3 calcium. All my labs have been good--had them checked at 13 weeks

My OB switched me over to 1 standard prescription prenatal and 1 prescription folic acid tablets a day. I've had to add some iron towards the end of this pregnancy, but even my surgeon was impressed by levels since I had to get my levels checked by both sets of docs. I was about 2 years out at the last big draws from them.
