Vitamins and nutrients while ttc/pregnant?
Hello! We have just begun ttc since I stopped the pill a few months ago. My doctor suggested taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid. So I have been taking a multivitamin and a fibre supplement due to my stomach issues (celiac). I just noticed that my fibre bottle says not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women. So I'm wondering: what vitamins or supplements do you take? Thanks so much!

I also have severe stomach issues (probably have celiac, but never officially diagnosed). I take Rainbow Light Prenatal One which is a food based vitamin and it doesn't affect me negatively at all. I take it first thing in the morning with no food, which I've never been able to do with any other vitamins.

In the U.S. , doctors recommend to take prenatal vitamins, but here in Belgium (we moved here for a few years) they only suggest taking folic acid if your blood test is fine and you don't need anything else like iron etc.
With my first pregnancy I wasn't very disciplined with vitamin intake at all. I always forgot or didn't want to because I couldn't swallow the huge capsules lol made me gag! So I made sure I ate well and that's all. The baby was born on 41 weeks and 2 days and she was the healthiest of all babies :)
Good luck!
