Bottom line is the member will do what is best for her and her baby, hopefully with the support of her sisters.

Haha, i used to take prenatal vitamins for the hair/skin benefits in HS when i wanted my hair to grow, didn't work, probably because you need to be pregnant for them to work

Nope, they work just fine, even when you aren't preggo. Lord, I've even heard "ZOMG, you can't take pre-natal vitamins if you aren't pregnant, because they decrease the effectiveness of The Pill!!!!" Not true. I wasn't in a chapter that had 70% pharmacy students for nothing!

I mean, geez, I feel like if I wrote "Live. Laugh. Love." in my signature, you'd say, "No, because you might die tomorrow.. And not everything is funny.. And not every guy is going to like your ass."

Or maybe every chapter should hang a banner on the wall that reads, "Our goal is to look good and get sisters/brothers who will pay their dues!"

ETA: and agzg DID start her comment with, "Sometimes..."

OMFG How dare you! Not everyone has a wall to hang a banner on! Not everyone has walls, or maybe their House Corp. won't let them hang up anything. I can't believe how insensitive you are!

WTF are you serious? I am so thankful I've never heard that before. Do people not realize that the things in prenatal vitamins are in food and other vitamins? Sure over exposure to certain vitamins could be an issue, but it wouldn't cause an issue with birth control.

Stupidity and ignorance are what decreases the effectiveness of The Pill, and possibly some antibiotics, antifungals, and other medications. It is wise to always ask a doctor or pharmacist about any interactions.
