A member asked:
Is it recommended or not to take natal vitamins at the early stages of pregnancy (5 weeks)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely : Pre natal vitamins are not only recommended during all of a pregnancy but it is also a good idea to take them prior to pregnancy. Prescription pre natals usually contain more Folic acid which is essential to prevent birth defects such as spina bifida. Please check with your physician to make sure your vitamins are appropriate. Congratulations and good luck.
