prenatal vitamins

I took them with my 1st pregnancy and I gained weight, but I think that was all due to baby.

Their just vitamins, I don't see why you would gain weight. Prenatals are amazing vitamins!

@MrsSmedstand Yeah I mean I'm not worried about weight gain after the wedding because I know that's what happens when you're pregnant. I just worry because she wants me to start them so far in advance, and I have a wedding coming up. The last thing I need to weight gain, but after my wedding if I gained due to pregnancy then off course I wouldn't care. I totally forgot to ask her, everytime we meet there is so much to cover I forget to ask!

I've always taken prenatals...they're better than multi vitamins, plus they're great for my hair and nails

As far as weight gain, I didn't see any difference until I actually got pregnant...lol... and they didn't seem to stop me from losing the baby weight.

@Stacy That's good to hear, there are so many mixed reviews on them I don't know what to think. My doctor takes forever to call back so I thought I would ask everyone here!

Hey, I work as an RN in OB

You are safe to take them without the fear of gaining weight.

The extra pounds will come from the baby when you do conceive

Like the other ladies said, they are just a special multivitamin with no drugs or anything in it so it won't make you gain weight.

Ok, Thanks ladies! I was super worried about taking them and then gaining weight, with my wedding being so close that is the last thing I need!

I've been taking them for the last month or so since we plan on TTC next month and I haven't noticed any weight gain.

Though I would suggest you take them with a meal, sometimes they can make your stomach upset.

I have always taken prenatal vitamins. they are good for your hair, skin, and nails!! I will say when I was pregnant with my 1st they made me sick. I couldnt take them, even with what little food I could manage to eat.

I take them now, but I'm pregnant...however, I don't not believe that they cause weight gain. They are strictly vitamins. Good luck w/ conceiving after the wedding.

No weight gain. I'm a RN, you have to build up your supply of folic acid especially because if you are deficient it can cause birth defects. So they are great to be on before you conceive and during pregnancy. They usually help your hair and nails grow too! You need lots of calcium,

Iron and folic acid supplements during pregnancy. Certain vitamins can possibly make you nauseated if they have a lot of iron in them, so always take with a meal. The vitamins need fats and water to be absorbed properly. Hope that helps
