Kendall: That's about pregnancy. Interesting things that you might not have thought about, okay, Maclean's Magazine in Canada says, multivitamins could make you more fertile. Okay!
Nina: Okay!
Kendall: Taking a multivitamin daily may decrease the risk of having trouble conceiving according to Harvard School of Public Health as reported by Maclean's Magazine.
Nina: Okay!
Kendall: Okay! The study involved more than 18,000 women or participants, I guess they would be women because men aren't fertile. Let's keep it that way. Okay! Researchers found that woman who took three or more multivitamins per week had a significantly lower incidents of ovulatory infertility compared to woman who didn't take any vitamins. Researchers also suggest that folic acid maybe the key nutrient for lowering infertility rate but we know that. Where is the information? Plus I didn't take them and I shouldn't tell about --
Nina: I didn't take them because I was just -- one other thing to remember and when you're pregnant you forget --
Kendall: But if you don't take them you got a lot of green lettuce.
Nina: Yeah, a leafy green vegetables.
Kendall: Yeah and I ate a lot of salads. I ate a lot of salads and I don't recommend do not take them.
Nina: They should take them rather than multivitamin.
Kendall: But they made me so sick and I kept getting dressed to go to work. Barfing on my clothes.
Nina: Because of the vitamin you think --
Kendall: Folic acid just did not suit me.
Nina: So, why don't you take the vitamin without folic acid. You could take that.
Kendall: Nobody presented that. I just made sure I ate a salad everyday. At my first pregnancy, I had an irrational attraction to green apples.
Nina: Ah, Okay!
Kendall: I felt relatively heavy. Now, course in my next pregnancy I had an irrational attraction to coffee.
Nina: Alright.
Kendall: He came out in the child, he is as cranky as I will get out most of the time.
Nina: I was very anemic when I was pregnant for all the kids and so they wanted me to take my blood and save it in a hospital so when I get it worse, I don't go into shock and die and that's how serious it was --
Kendall: Okay! They want you to take your blood and save it in the hospital. What was she going to use everyday.
Nina: Now they wanted to me to collect my blood type from all my friends, bring it to the hospital, store it, so that when I gave birth and you lose blood when you give birth. They were scared I would go in to shock and die. That's how serious it was. As a matter of fact, I was in a doctor's office watching the O.J. Simpson Trial Come to a Verdict, and I was having a drip, I was having an iron drip into my veins, I was in Oncologist's office with all the cancer patients --
Kendall: Why didn't you eat --
Nina: No, nothing helped. I did the iron pills. I did everything.
Kendall: So nothing absorbed?
Nina: Nothing was being absorbed, so he decided my oncologist while he was a blood doctor to take the iron and just drip it into my blood and that's when the O.J Simpson was - all hell broke loose in the office. Some people were very happy and some people weren't but in never forget it --
Kendall: It's best to forget it.
Nina: Yeah.
Kendall: I feel so -- I don't know biologically and physically superior when I sit next to her.
Nina: Why is that?
Kendall: Because you have had every last conceivable crazy thing. I got pregnant. Some I miscarried, some I had, I threw up. I was tired. My gums blood, but at the end of the day, I popped out a baby, life went on.
Nina: Your normal hemoglobin should be a twelve. I was six. I was at half the amount that a normal -- he was shocked that I was walking, the doctors were amazed that I was able to physically get up and walk out the door because at sex at the that level.
Kendall: He should be --
Nina: You should be lying flat on the ground, you would and I would get palpitations and I felt dizzy and light headed and I would get blackouts and so on, but I carry on, I got the drip. Thank you Doctor.
Kendall: Don't go home and panic, she is not the norm.
Nina: It's okay, but I am letting it all hang out so the people --
Kendall: Everybody has an anxiety at that time.
Nina: Hey, that black woman, she had it also. You know? So who knows? Anyway we'll be right back.
