Uses
- This vitamin is used to aid the diet needs of a pregnant woman or one trying to get pregnant.
- Most prenatal vitamins have more folic acid, iron, and calcium than normal adult multivitamins. Taking folic acid before the pregnancy and during the first 12 weeks may help stop some birth defects. A prenatal multivitamin will help you get needed nutrients in your diet.
Dosing
How to take
- Take this vitamin with or without food. Take with food or at bedtime if it causes an upset stomach.
- Follow the diet and workout plan that your doctor told you about.
- If you are in your first 12 weeks of your pregnancy, you may want to take a prenatal vitamin without extra iron. Iron may cause hard stools (constipation) and upset stomach. Extra iron is most often needed in the second and third trimesters.
