A member asked:

Missed period 2 months. no my period has been 2 weeks long and still going. started prenatals to help with anemia and i've been going #2 a lot more!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably unrelated: Frequent bowel movement are not likely to be due to pre-natal vitamins. You may add oral iron supplement to your pre-natal as iron often causes constipation. Do stay on this medication, especially if you may get pregnant. You may try Pepto-Bismol
