Prenatal vitamins ?!

Question

I'm not taking my prenatal vitamins ... I'm not sure if you really have to but I've heard it makes some people sick! & in the beginning I was feeling sick all throughout the day so I didn't want to make anything else worse, but I am doing fine without them!!? Anyone else not taking their vitamins ?!

Answer

Take your prenatals even if you hate them. They're essential to the baby's development that they can't receive from foods you eat.

Answer

You should take them. If you get sick right after taking them their iron content is too high. Take 2 flintstone vitamins a day instead if that's the case. The extra vitamins will actually make you feel better and more energized. Plus it's a big deal for your baby.

Answer

Try a chewable kind. Mine are super yummy and don't make me sick at all.

Answer

Why not try to take them? They might not make you sick at all. Mine haven't.

Answer

Take your vitamins it can cause problems with the baby if you don't, I take folic acid everyday.

Answer

You should at least take folic acid in the first trimester. It is proven to reduce your baby's risk of neural tube defects which includes spina bifida and cleft lip/palate. All the other vitamins and minerals are extra and more for your body's benefit. You may also find you need to take an iron supplement further down the road as low iron is common in pregnancy and can cause some nasty symptoms.

Answer

My mom didn't take them with me or my other siblings and we are totally healthy. I stopped taking mine at 12 weeks because i just couldn't. I'm not worried about it. My OB's nurse told me baby gets everything it needs from me. Hope you feel better.

Answer

You should really take them. Find ones that won't make you sick. Try the gummies, it seems like the pill form makes a lot of people sick. I've been taking the pill form ever since i found out I was pregnant and I'm doing just fine.

Answer

They are most important in the first trimester, but are important throughout pregnancy. Taking a vitamin with Folic Acid is in order to help prevent neural tube defects with baby. All the other things in the vitamins are great for baby too! I have been taking gummy ones and they don't make me sick and all (and are delicious!)

Answer

Im not and Im 39 weeks. I stopped after a month of bad morning sickness and trying countless types of vitamins. I eat healthy and balanced and my midwife said I am fine. I did take chewy superfood vitamins during second trimester and those seemed to help.
