Prenatal Vitamins (part I)by sconway11 Apr 2011 10:05 AM As soon as a woman discovers she is pregnant, she will most likely be advised by her doctor or midwife to take a prenatal vitamin supplement which may bring up a couple of questions: Why do I need to take a prenatal vitamin? Which prenatal vitamin should I take? A Tale of Morning Sicknessby sconway08 Apr 2011 08:17 AM Morning sickness only lasted ten weeks for me.
