Re: another vitamin question
Girls say they have gotten them from Target before.
It is really good to have vitamins in your body, it helps the baby's growth.

Re: another vitamin question
yup, you can even take generic CVS ones and just pick up a bottle of 80mg of Folic Acid.

Re: another vitamin question
go into any target / walgreens / cvs.... everyone has a couple 'prenatal' vitamins. Just choose one. They replace any daily vitamin you may take now...
HTH!

Re: another vitamin question
Yes, imo it is better to take one that already has enough folic acid in it. Just one less pill to take. Just make sure whichever one you get has 800mcg of folic acid in it. I take the Rite Aid brand, which is super cheap and my Dr. said it was just fine. You can find the prenatals in the vitamin section of any drug store (cvs, target, rite aid, etc.).
