MommyToAshley replied: I took my prenatals the entire time I nursed.

I ALWAYS forget to take them.

paradisemommy replied: ME..and still eating tums daily for the calcium too!

coasterqueen replied: I'm obviously taking them since I'm pregnant but I also took them the entire time I was nursing...still nursing .

DansMom replied: About 40% of the time---I take them when I think about them, not always every day.

My prescription ran out, and instead of calling my doc for a refill, I bought some prenatal/nursing vitamins at our health food store that have my required dose of calcium in them too. The doc had told me I need more calcium. Tums are wonderful, but I tend toward diabetes so I'm avoiding the sugar right now.

MomToMany replied: I take mine whenever I remember to, although it's not everyday like it should be. I need to find some with lower iron 'cause I tend to get constipated with the ones I take now (sorry if TMI). I just buy OTC ones.

paradisemommy replied: i just buy the costco ones..there's a ton and pretty cheap!!

Lollie replied: Im nursing and taking mine..well,the times I do remember to!!

amynicole21 replied: I am! I stopped for a while and just took regular Centrum vitamins, but now that we're ttc I'm back to the prenatals.

jen replied: I still take mine (most of the time). I eat really really healthy though. I am almost in my "skinny" jeans so I eating a lot of vitamin packed RABBIT FOOD!
