Just a quick question :)

If I normally take a women's one-a-day vitamin and I decide to start taking prenatal vitamins, are they basically the same thing?

Should only take one OR the other? Can/should you take both?

Thanks :)

I would stick with the pre-natal vitamins. No need to take both, that would be an overload. The pre-natal vitamins are specifically designed for the mom-to-be. One-A-Day is not.

If trying to conceive, the biggest factor is the amount of folic acid. One-a-day has 400 mcg... which is the minimum you would want while trying to conceive. Most prenatals will give you a substantial amount more. During pregnancy you would want the higher amount as well.

As bleusong said, don't do both... more than you need for several of the vitamins.

Ok thank you guys :)

I take the prenatals daily even though I am in my late 40s and will never have another child.
