Had my first OB visit today....

[Guest guest]

Hello to all! I hope all of you are doing well. I had my first OB visit

today. I lost 4 pounds! I think that the losing 4 pounds is due to me feeling

very

yucky and sick feeling though. Have ya'll heard a OBGYN doc NOT giving a

prescription out for a prenatal vitamin? With my first preg, that was the first

thing he gave me. I am using a diff doc this time, b/c I was recommended to him

by a friend that is a PA and he accepts my insurance. He is really sweet,

caring and very informational with a lot of things.

Robin,

I was taking Folic Acid(800 mcg) and I kept having these REALLY BAD

nearly blacking out dizzy spells, etc. I stop taking the folic acid and they are

gone. Needless to say...I will not be taking folic acid anymore.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, ! My OB didn't give me a

prescription this time either, like he did with my previous two pregnancies. He

told me

that the over the counter prenatals are just as good as the prescription ones.

Best wishes!

I am only 9 wks along, but my first appointment was at 7 wks. My OB

asked what vitamins I was taking (1 chewable Centrum multi, 800 mcgs

Folic acid, b-12/b-6 sublingual and iron (Slow fe) 3 times a week).

He said not to add a prenatal until after the labs come back. I see

him again in 3 weeks to hear the heartbeat and will ask again if he

thinks I need pre-natals. I worry about overdosing on some vitamins

due to the Centrum that I currently take, so I am trusting his

judgement. He has had many post-WLS patients and none of them have

had any problems. I'll let you all know what happens after my next

appointment.
