Pills and supplements

I am taking my pre/post natal vitamins until the bottle runs out. After that I will switch back to the One a Day multivitamin. I would have taken them longer, but I am in process of stopping pumping (that phrasing looks odd...).

Still taking my prenatal on my OB's rec. I was taking fenugreek on the pedi's rec, but saw no change in my supply, so I just dropped it since my bottle ran out.

Ha, agreed, it looks weird! But I know what you mean. How's it going for you? Are you in any pain/discomfort?

It's going ok. I am down to three pumps a day. My boobs feel so hard. I am in less pain now than I was when I was trying to pump often (6-8 times a day). I think they are getting the message.

Still taking my prenatal and probably will until the bottle is gone. Also still taking colace daily in attempts to ease the hemis.

I am on a doctor prescribed beta blocker (labatelol) because I developed high blood pressure after delivery (same as after my first).

I am taking a bunch of vitamins:

Prenatal (doctor recommended)
DHA (my choice for baby's brain development)
Vitamin D (my choice to help my self diagnosed SAD)
Probiotic (my choice for constipation issues)
Magnesium (my choice for constipation issues)

I took fenugreek + blessed thistle to help with pumping with my first and it helped but made me REEK. So I'm hoping to avoid this time.

starry, which probiotic are you taking? And vitamin D? I've seen D-Drops for adults but wondering if you have any experience with it or if you're taking a tablet supplement.

I take this Vitamin D, mainly just in the winter. I think it helps but it could be a placebo.

I just started on this probiotic. My constipation has remained but hopefully it helps soon

I'm like somesay and have taken prenatals for years (I also tried to get pregnant for years) but I have no intention of stopping them anytime soon. I'll keep using them as my daily multivitamin until DH and I decide if we want to do any sort of permanent birth control in the future. I also take 1000IU of Vit D. The RE put me on it and I noticed a huge difference in my immune system after starting it. I almost never get colds now.

I am also now inspired to add a Häagen-Dazs supplement to my diet thanks to .!

Still taking prenatal and vitamin d. My vitamin d was low during pregnancy, so I started a prescription for it then. I will continue both until I'm done breastfeeding.

I am taking my prenatal and I will take it until I wean. I also take a calcium supplement at the recommendation of my doctor to prevent osteoporosis.

I was taking iron during the end of the pregnancy and I took it for a few weeks after, I forgot to ask the doctor if I should keep taking it and have stopped. Not sure if that was the right thing to do or not
