I heard testimonies about prenatal vitamins can make you and your baby fat. Come to think of it, it is true you know. When I was pregnant with my first child, I took prenatal vitamins until I am due to deliver. Due to it, my weight increased 17kg! With my 2nd child, I took until 20 weeks. Weight increased more than 10kg but it was hard to shed that extra weight. I was lingering at 52kg only after 6 months delivery. Come to No.3 & No.4, I did not take any prenatal pills. My pregnancy weight increased less than 10kg and after a month, I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Both baby are strong and healthy. So, you don’t really have to take the prenatal vitamins if you watch your diet during pregnancy. But I do take my normal supplements though.
