Prenatal Vitamins aren’t just for Moms-to-Be! (and a diapers.com giveaway!)

Diapers.com

I’m a mom of three so I am no stranger to prenatal vitamins. I remember when I was pregnant with my first child, I would gag whenever I would take my prenatal vitamins because of their large size. In the beginning, I decided on my own to take children’s chew-able vitamins instead. But after a few months and a few blood tests later, my doctor could see from the results that I was becoming anemic.

Needless to say, I was back on those giant horse pills in no time. It took awhile to get used to it but it wasn’t too bad. I wanted to be in optimal health so it meant getting used to taking those giant pills. Plus, I felt so much better afterwards. I had more energy and was super glad that future blood tests came back showing I was no longer anemic.

Allow me to be honest here…… Now this may sound odd to all of you but sometimes I buy prenatal vitamins!

I know it sounds crazy, uh?

Well there’s a good reason for that!

Saving money, of course!

I can’t help it but I love to save money.  I mean, who doesn’t? Especially when I see a top selection of prenatal vitamins at an amazing deal!  Yes they carry “regular” vitamins for women that are not pregnant but honestly, the prenatal vitamins that I get are pretty darn good.

And the best part about the vitamins that I buy: they aren’t so huge. They’re a decent size and it does its job. A win-win situation if you ask me. Although the factory was shut down years ago, this mama still needs to feel energized and healthy. So whatever I need to make that happen, I will do!

Giveaway time!

    With my last pregnancy, the thing I didn’t like was having a hard time breathing at the beginning of my pregnancy.

  18. Nancy Loring says:

    When I was pregnant with my son i hated going into work every morning. I worked in a store/deli and as soon as I walked in the store the smell of all he different foods in the deli, which i used to love, made me so sick. This happened to me throughout my whole pregnancy. I also hated to step on the scale when I would see my midwife.

  19. Heather Dawn says:

    I hated getting stuck with needles all the time. It seems like they needed blood all the time lol. I also hated the gestational diabetes drink, yuck.

  20. Maria Beas says:
