Soon after I got married I started taking prenatal vitamins and 6 months later I gained 18 lbs! And no I am not yet pregnant. What is so crazy is that I eat the same amount as I always have and I exercise way more than I ever have! I run 20 mins every night and do my sit ups and pushups. My bra size went from a 36c to a 34DD! I am beginning to think prenatal vitamins defiantly contribute to my weight gain! There is simply no other explanation!

You may be doing more purposeful exercise but clearly the rest of your lifestyle has changed and you are less generally active and eating and drinking mor e

It's not vitamins

Though people who don't want to be pregnant are taking a specific vitamin supplement for something else is peculiarly an American phenomenon

your bra band size has DECREASED, which means actually the cup size is about the same... if you do exactly the same exercise as you have every day for the last 6 months then you're probably burning less calories as your body has got more efficient so that's why you're gaining weight, not the vitamins

I was put on birth control and prenatal vitamins two months ago by my dr and my weight loss has slowed down a bit but it is still a loss and not a gain. This is probably because of the birth control more then the vitamins.

So you when you got on birth control you gained? Cause I am on that as well; maybe that is contributing....

i've been on birth control for over 10 years, it hasn't affected my weight

Everybodys body is different certain stuff can make you can weight with others it wont. Vitamins for me dont really do anything for me except give me energy that its. Like birth control can cause women to gain significant amount of weight but it did the opposite to me. It just all depend on how your body reacts to it.

You resurrected a zombie thread lol. No vitamins don't cause weight gain

Prenatal vitamins don't cause weight gain. Just... no.
