^^ I don’t know why this thread is here.

But MIAinVA, its weird that my OB/GYN didn’t stress on pre-natal vitamins. Is there a specific reason? Are some women required to take it compared to others

Really? All OB/GYNs that I’ve spoken to stress on them, unless yours talked about folic acid and stressed on that You definitely need more folic acid, iron and calcium in pregnancy than in normal days. Baaqi vitamins are optional I believe.

I’m taking extra Vitamin D supplements cuz my bones were hurting My OB/GYN did a test and said you’re really deficient, need 2000 IU per day.

My MIL had 8 kids, never took any vitamins or calcium and poor her got Osteoporosis at age 50 plus she has Arthritis in her spine too. Better to take the supplements now than suffer later due to deficiencies as the babies take a big chunk of nutrients out of your body when they are developing inside you and being nursed by you.

So im not a mom, but a friend of mine who recently had a baby said to me "You really dont want to hear the story. It’ll just scare you, its not that bad when u’r going through it, and everyones stories are different. Dont let em mess up your head "

So…maybe its not a good idea for you to be reading em, esp. if theyre scary. Just pray IA that everything turns out well

Yeah, she’s right… those stories will just scare the H*** outta you. As long as there are no complications, you forget it all later and its all TOTALLY worth it
