What vitamins and supplements do you take?

Do you have trouble with nausea from them?

What brand do you buy?

Anything else about vitamins/supplements?

I'm 3.5 weeks postpartum and feeling a little . Nothing serious. Maybe some vitamins would help?

Sarah,
Sorry you are feeling like that! I heard recently that it is really important to eat meat post-partum and take a good bifido bacteria supplement. Meat helps to build seratonin in your digestive system. (Eat every 3-4 hours and include a good protein, fat and carbohydrate to keep your blood sugar balanced.) The good bacteria also aides in that process of building up the seratonin. I take Bifido Balance by NutriKey.
Hope you feel better soon!

I take a great vitamin from Beeyoutiful.com...their Supermom (there is a SuperDad, as well). They also sell other supplements, including those for the probiotics....

HTH

Sarah - the only vitamin that I can tolerate at any time, pregnant or not, without the nausea is Nature's Plus Prenatal liquid - you take one capful - and I have never had a problem with it. The other extra I plan to take postpartum is a calcium magnesium liquid supplement - which really helps with the mood swings and has a calming effect. I have cooked and frozen some comfort high calorie food too which is supposed to help - beef stew etc - I think the meat thing is important.

I will pray for you. (and please offer some Hail Mary's for me - I have had so many contractions this weekend - and this would be the ideal weekend to go into labor naturally - my doctor is on call).
