Ask your OB/GYN: I assume this was written by your ob/gyn,  i would give a quick call to them and ask if this is what they wanted you to take.

Question 2

is zevit a complete prenatal supplement?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes this product has adequate ingredients for pregnancy.  It's always best to try to get your nutrients from food, if possible, as the body much better absorbs vitamins and minerals from food as opposed to a supplement. Food for thought!

Question 3

what are prenatal exercise classes?

Prenatal exercises: Maintaining a regular exercise routine throughout your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel your best.
