Talking to Your Doctor

As is the case with any daily supplement, you should talk to your doctor before starting a multi prenatal vitamin regimen. You should always have this conversation with your doctor before you become pregnant in the first place, because the first 28 days after conception—before you may even know that you're pregnant—are crucial for healthy baby development. By starting to take small prenatal vitamins before conception and at your doctor's recommendation, you can build up the substantial amount of folic acid that your body needs for those early days of development.

If you're considering taking prenatal vitamins for non-pregnancy-related health issues, like complexion, nails or hair, talk to your doctor. You'll likely be better off with a more specific supplement, like biotin, that gives you the same benefits without risking obtaining too high a dose of certain vitamins and minerals.

Taking Your Daily Supplement



When you're on a multi prenatal vitamin regimen, you have to pay attention to how and when you take the supplement each day. For example, if you're taking more than one type of multivitamin, you should take them at least two hours apart to avoid interactions that can lead to overdose symptoms. Taking in too much of certain minerals all at once, like iron, magnesium and zinc, can cause painful and potentially dangerous overdose symptoms like stomach pain and bleeding, headache, joint pain and irregular heart rate.

Taking your supplement with water is generally preferable to taking it with dairy products like milk, as the calcium content in those products can impede your body's ability to absorb the small prenatal vitamin's nutrients.

Stopping Taking Your Vitamin

Taking a multi prenatal vitamin can give you and your baby nutritional benefits, so before you stop taking yours, you should consult your doctor. Some people find that they have difficulty taking prenatal vitamins because of side effects like nausea and constipation. In cases like these, your doctor may recommend a different formula rather than stopping altogether. For example, some small prenatal vitamins come formulated with iron, but if you already get sufficient iron from your diet, taking in too much can lead to stomach upset. You may need to switch to a formula without this excess iron content. Just like you do when you start taking a supplement, you should ask your doctor before stopping.
