Prenatal Vitiams when to start?

[mousebjl]

I just find out I am pregant and am about 4 weeks. When should prenatal vitiams start?

I would think start them right away. If by chance they make you feel sick,take them in the evening. And don't buy the expensive Materna,ask them for the generic brand..it's the exact same thing. Congratulations!

Now. If you were planning this pregnancy they say you should start them while you are still trying to get pregnant. But you should start as soon as you find out.

Also take some extra folic acid.  It prevents spina bifida but the earlier taken the better.  It's available in capsules the same places where you can get prenatals.

My Dr. told me to start taking them at least 3 months before trying to conceive. But there are many women that end up with a great big suprise. So in your case, start taking them now. But as far as the spina bifida thing goes, the spine develops the first month of pregnancy, before you even know you are pregnant. But folic acid is still needed in pregnancy.
Congrats on the baby!

you should start right away, and if this where planned you should of use them while you where trying.
