WLS Multivitamin Original Mama, Prenatal Vitamin

Maternity vitamins after bariatric surgery

What's different for pregnant women with bariatric surgery?

During pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is better not to take in too much vitamin A. This is why it is not recommended to eat liver and liver products, for example. Liver contains extremely high amounts of vitamin A. It is also important to take enough choline and folic acid for proper brain and nervous system development.
Nausea and constipation also play an extra important role during pregnancy.

Optimal formulation pregnancy vitamins

WLS has searched for the very best bariatric formula. Our pregnancy vitamin contains all the substances you need during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Vitamin A and folic acid are naturally optimised in this formula. In addition, we have completely adapted this product in more ways to the needs during pregnancy.

Folic acid and pregnancy(wish)

Don't forget: calcium is important too!

Calcium (citrate) is important for bones and teeth, for you and, of course, for your unborn child. After bariatric surgery, a risk of calcium deficiency is already very much present, but this is even more serious during pregnancy! In addition to your WLS Mama Multivitamin, therefore, take enough calcium for bone development.
For example, you can choose our WLS Calcium Soft Chews, or Bariatric Fusion Calcium Soft Chews.
Do you prefer a chewable tablet? Then our WLS Original Calcium Chew tablet is the way to go.
Do you prefer a swallowing tablet? Then we have our WLS Original Calcium tablets.

Constipation during pregnancy??

Many pregnant women suffer from constipation. Many women with bariatric surgery suffer from constipation. Let alone if you have both! Pregnant AND a gastric bypass or sleeve!
If you keep suffering a lot from gastrointestinal problems during your pregnancy, consider taking a course of our probiotics.
Available as capsules or soft chews, these probiotics help to keep your gut flora up, and reduce symptoms.

Always consult your doctor first

As with all medicines, it is EXTRA important to discuss everything with your doctor during pregnancy. So ask your gynaecologist, midwife and possibly your obesity centre, what is best for you to take during your pregnancy.
