A member asked:

I am breastfeeding my 19mo and trying to conceive simultaneously. do i need more than the standard dose of prenatal vitamins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No you do not need extra prenatal vitamins. Breast feeding may be getting in your way of getting pregnant. Since there are additional risks from pregnancy at your age, it would be prudent to consult an obstetrician even before you get pregnant. Wish you good health!
