Hi All,
I've been taking Vitafol Prenatal Multivitamin tablets since Oct of 2006 as advised by my doctor as my husband and I are planning to have a baby and we've been trying for the past 4 months. Probably it is a coincidence, but I'm gaining a little weight. My tummy's grown really big and I kind of look odd now.(I'm not pregnant).
Does anyone know if Vitafol or multivitamin tablets are known for weight gain? Or probably it is just that I'm not eating good...or rather eating fatty food?

i dont think it is due to these tablets that you are feeling so, it must be due to fatty food, or may be you are sitting a lot, this can also be a reason for that...excisie may help..

I had to increase my folic acid as well and I noticed that I started to retain water. Could this be the problem? I don't know if this is a coincidence or not but my socks left marks on my calves and my ring was tight.
Talk to your doctor about any side effects. I have really only heard that constipating is the major complaint. Maybe you could see about switching brands.

I don't think they have side effects like that. However, regardless, folic acid is vital for a healthy baby. So don't stop taking it! It decreases your risk of miscarriage and birth defects!
