Prenatal Vitamins

By Parita Oct 21, 2013

This is not a birth announcement post.  Quite the opposite actually.

Let me repeat – I am NOT pregnant.

It’s just that my trip to Costco this weekend reminded me of a funny Parita and Vishnu conversation.  A conversation that took place next to a display of prenatal vitamins during our last visit there.

First a little context setting.  Our last pit stop was the vitamin/supplement section of the store.  Vishnu and I split up to find our go to multivitamin.  During my search, a display of prenatal vitamins grabbed my attention.  This particular kind was for women looking to get pregnant in the next 12-18 months.  I am clueless when it comes to pregnancy related things, so I picked up a bottle to show Vishnu.  And here’s how that went…

Vishnu: I found our vitamins.  Let’s go.
Parita: Look what I found.  These are prenatal vitamins for women looking to have a baby in the next year to year and a half.
Vishnu: [With sheer panic on his face.]  Ummm…ok.
Parita: [Pretty much talking to myself].  Hmm..I wonder if I should buy a bottle.  I mean I know we’re not looking to have a baby anytime soon, but it couldn’t hurt, right?
Vishnu: [As he took the bottle out of my hands].  Let’s just stick to our usual vitamins, Par.  You can look into these later.
Parita:  True.  And I should probably do a little research before I just buy something, right?
Vishnu: [Already walking toward the checkout lines.]

So, yeah.  Not pregnant.  Not even close.

But at least I know how to get my husband’s attention and keep it for all of 30 seconds!

Happy Monday, friends!

  1. Hahahaha!!! Sounds like an exchange between my husband and I! I just recently bought my first prenatal vitamins. I am hoping for a baby soon, and my husband is finally on board but be is still totally clueless and terrified 🙂

  2. Hilarious!! I know my multi-vitmatin has Folic acid and some other things that are found in prenatal vitamins, but that doesn’t freak REB out. He and I have discussed that we aren’t sure if kids are our thing or will ever be, but whenever he pulls the “We should have a baby card” and I respond with “Hmm ok. I’ll stop taking my pill tonight.” the look on his face is priceless 😉

    1. Oh husbands, they are too funny sometimes! And REBs reaction pretty much matches our own. It’s fun to think about having a kid, but actually planning on having one is def. a different beast. We’ll get there!

  3. Men are so weird when it comes to babies, it is so funny. That is cool how it’s a pre-planning kind of vitamin. I will have to look into that (for fun).

  4. My hairdresser tells me they are great for hair growth. So I had bought them few years back … but then stopped ‘coz my hair grows fine naturally. May be you could get them for that reason if not a baby! (;
