04-12-2010 - Vitamins

My mood while writing this blog:
Curious

So, I have a history of kidney stones due to calcium and the prenatal vitamins I have had to take in the past 2 pregnancies were made w/o. Now they dont make them anymore that way and my doctor says its okay if I just take Flinstones Vitamins?? I thought that was kind of weird. They seem to not be enough. I guess the doctor knows best but I feel as though I need more. Im almost 12 weeks and have not been prescribed any prenatals. Has anyone else had the issue?

I was hospitalized 3 times with my first pregnancy for kidney stones from calcium intake. I wasnt even supposed to eat dairy. It was very painful and caused me to be in the hospital for 9 days with blocked ureters and compression bands on my legs. It worries me to no end to not only have to feel the pain but I had to be induced because of how bad it was so I think for me to take and vitamin would be scary. Sounds silly to be scared of a vitamin but in a way I am. I do make sure to get other important vitamins just wish I had the "prenatal" assurance.

I have not had this issue. Why don't you take your regular vitamin and add extra folic acid and anything else that is super important for baby. Woman do that all the time. You would have to get the ok from a dr I would think.
