You need to be taking PreNatal vitamins. They have the correct dosage of all the vitamins you need, especially folic acid, which is VERY important in your baby's development.

I think you should stop taking anything at all and just take the prenatal vitamins prescribed by your doctor. At seven weeks (and before) this is the high-risk time when it comes to birth defects. Why take any chances.

Hi! I would consult your OB about this. With my first pregnancy I took only folic acid tablets the entire time and ate lots of fruit and veggies. I would advis you to take pre-natal vitamins just because they are best formulated for the developing baby. Good luck!

You should only take what your doctor prescribes. I am sure everything will be fine, just quit taking them and be sure to let your doctor know just to be on the safe side. Your doctor should give you prenatal vitamins and maybe iron supplements as well, if your iron is low. Congrats on the pregnancy and good luck.

Please consult your OB doctor and have him prescribe a prenatal vitamin. It is specially formulated to meet your nutritional needs during your pregnancy. If you haven't seen a doc yet please go as soon as possible to make sure that you and your baby have all the things you need to be happy, healthy, and safe. Good and early prenatal care is the best way to insure a good outcome and can prevent many problems for you and your baby

Your doctor should be advising you on what vitamins to take, especially folic acid to prevent birth defects. Check with him or her as soon as possible.

PreNatal vitamins for sure. NEVER take pills of any kind without talking to your doctor 1st.

If you are taking your pre natal vitamins that's all you need. This is a question for your doctor :)
