Re: Prenatal Vitamins w/o stool softener       07/01/09 07:22 AM Edit Reply Quote Lisa Marie Reged: 07/17/06 Posts: 1566 Loc: Lakewood, CO Prenatal vitamins really aren't necessary. Are you already taking a good multivitamin that has a good amount of iron and calcium? If so, then I wouldn't worry about it. I took Target's generic version of the "Women's One a Day" vitamins throughout my pregnancy, and now while breastfeeding, and my OB was perfectly happy with that. So I would double-check that it's really necessary to take something like that. I think the pre-natals have the stool softeners because they tend to be extra high in iron. But again, your current vitamin may have plenty of iron already. The only other thing you need is folic acid, and I got a separate supplement for that from my OB. -------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lisa, IBS-C (Vegan) Stable since July 2007!
