We've started planning for a baby and I want to prepare my body properly before. Heard folic acid is important but not sure what else helps. What vitamins did u all take while trying?
Folic acid is key, but it's always best to get a simple blood test done first. Your doctor can prescribe the exact vitamins and dosage your body needs. Take care and stay happy!
Folic acid is the most important one to start even before you conceive to prevent birth defects. I had terrible morning sickness later, so my doctor started me on mild prenatals early on. Make sure you discuss with your doctor to find one that doesn't upset your stomach.
Folic acid is definitely the hero here, but don't forget to eat delicious folate-rich foods like spinach, oranges, and beans! It's the perfect excuse to enjoy fresh, healthy meals while planning for the baby.
Along with folic acid, having adequate Vitamin D3 and B12 is really helpful for reproductive health. I took my doctor's prescribed prenatals daily, which made a huge difference during my pregnancy and even now while breastfeeding.
I am currently planning my pregnancy too and my doctor recently prescribed folic acid tablets. Are there any other supplements like Vitamin D or iron that you guys started taking before conceiving? Would love to know!
