prenatal vitamins for ttc ? how can it work ?

Question

i have been ttc for almost a year. my doctor asked me to take the vitamins but i wonder does it help me to get pregnant ? whar it is used for ?

Answer 1

Lol well i eat cherrios often and after my first child I just kept taking my prenatal vitamins since they seemed to be a great multivitamin for women.And now I am the happy mother of 6 great kids! But yes they are very helpfull and I mentioned the cherrios because they are a good source of folic acid and that is helpfull when trying to conceive. Take the vitamins!

Answer 2

I think it is important to know that prenatal vitamins will not HELP you get pregnant. This is a misconception that many women have. It is a REALLY GOOD idea to start taking them if you are TTC because the the vitamins will help the growing embryo get the vital nutrients it needs in the first few weeks before you even know you are pregnant. Also the folic acid helps to prevent certian birth defects. I hope this helps you! Good luck!!!

Answer 3

It's used so that the first few weeks of the baby's life they will have the needed vitamins. Folic acid prevents neuro-tube defects such as spinabifida and that forms before your period is even skipped.

Answer 4

I believe they say to take the vitamins to get your body healthy. I think the idea is that a healthy body is more ready for conception.

I truly wish you the best of luck!

Answer 5

It is good to get folic acid on board, it will help prevent open nueral tube defects or spina bifida

Answer 6

It's just to make sure you have the right nutrients in your body for sustaining a pregnancy.

Answer 7

It gets your body ready!
