Hi,
This pregnancy around, I've been taking a vit. B supplement in addition to the prenatal vitamins, and it seems to have helped both with the nausea and giving me more energy. Since I haven't been eating fish or meat (it just grosses me out right now, otherwise I'd have it maybe 2-3 times a month), I've recently added fishoil.
One midwife mentioned briefly that acidophilus might make sense for me (last pregnancy, I had a positive Group B Strep culture and antibiotics during the whole 2 day labor). This time around, I plan to not even test for GBS. Unless there are any risk factors (like fever, premature labor etc).
Part of me is reluctant to add too many supplements, but I feel good about acidophilus (also haven't been able to eat any yogurt at all although I know how good it would be for me and baby).
Any thoughts?
What do you all think about some prenatals being supposedly better than others (more bioavailable, but also a ton more expensive).
