Vitamens?

What vitamens does everyone take?

Right now I take 2x per day:

Flinstones chewables with iron
and
Viactiv (calcium chews)

Just wondering if I shold be taking something else or adding to this.

I take my duet prenatal

Any side effects? I'm not TTCing yet (which is why I didn't post this on TTC) but I'm trying to get my body in it's 'right state' for the future...

My doctor gave me prenatals about 2 years ago and I took them for a week and quickly went off of them. They just made me very sick.

I'm currently taking the GNC Prenatal vitamins

Before I began TTC, though, I was taking One a Day for Women

Re: Vitamens?

they made mea bit queasy in the begining but I realized that if I take them RIGHT BEFORE I go to bed that they don't really effect me at all.

I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor soon but for the meantime I was hoping I was doing something good at least.

Anything I can take to feel more neergized?

I'm always sleepy... and there is nothing medically wrong with me causing this.

I take One A Day.

If you're having trouble with prenatal vitamins making you sick, you can switch to a different one. I had great ones when I was pg with my son and then whatever they started me on when I was pg with my daughter made me sick as a dog so I just switched back to the others. There's lots of different ones out there.
