the obsessive googling begins

DD -

I'm reading on-line that if we are even thinking about having a baby I should start taking prenatal vitamins. Did you do that? What should I look for when buying them? From what I've read, you can get them by prescription or over-the-counter. Is there a difference? Is one brand better than the other? I've found some web pages with stats of what you should be looking for - but nothing consistent.

thanks!

Hi there,

Prenatal vitamins are a good idea -- I think they all contain folic acid (which is key). Any kind is ok. You can get them over the counter at any drug store. No real difference as far as I know, but some people have told me that certain kinds make them nauseaus, and some don't. I didn't have that problem though.

No worries, this is an easy one!!
