Vitamin Supplements In Pregnancy
Sunday, January 24th, 2010
Is it ok to take regular vitamins during pregnancy?
Meaning can I just take my regular centrum vitamin every day along w/ a folic acid supplement rather than prenatal vitamins?
Everyday I drink a boost and take my centrum, folic acid, & vitamin E…are all of these things safe to continue once I get pregnant?
I’m asking this because I can’t swallow large pills so my regular vitamin is chewable and the folic acid is a small pill.
I know they make chewable prenatal vitamins but I have never found them in a store.
Any vitamin is better than no vitamin. Many women get sick from their prenatal vitamins and can’t take them (mainly due to the increased iron in the vitamin). The two most important things are to get calcium (the baby will leech calcium from your bones so it’s best to take a supplement to keep yourself healthy) and folic acid, which it sounds like you’re doing!
