running low on prenatal vitamins

[jne1233]

I'm running low on the vitamins my doctor gave me for free. The pharmacy doesn't have any in stock and I dnt have a car or money for a cab. My question is can I take women's one a day vitamins until I get more vitamins?

I took flintstonescus the prenatals would make me sick. Call ur dr before taking nething tho.

I'm not sure if that matters or not. I take the prenatal kind. I'd read the label and see what it has in it and see what it's lacking.

The women's one a day are not the prenatal version... Does this matter?

I definately would!  I would also eat foods high in Folic Acid as this is important to the development of baby.  Some foods include cereals, lentils, spinach, beans, sunflower seeds, asparagus, and whole grains.  

Hope this helps!

That's what I've been taking for a while now. I couldn't take the prenatals the doctor gave me. They made me so sick I couldn't function. Over the counter prenatals are fine to take.
