Does anyone have the kind of prenatals that you take one in the morning and one in the night time?

Anybody who are pregnant should for sure be taking folate, and also at least in 2nd part of the pregnancy also take iron. Those are rather important for a safe pregnancy and a healthy child. So please don't ignore the pnvs.

well, the iron is for you. And the folate really should be taken from even before you get pregnant till at least the end of the embryonic stage, 8 weeks after conception to significantly reduce the risk of birth defects. However, it is not quite as urgent as it used to be, as we now get some of it in fortified grain products.

You lucky !**@!, mine are huge. And they smell like they taste. I swear it's this gross vanilla-like taste. I remember the old ones I used to take. They were so cute, they were capsules that were pink on one half and blue on the other.
