Do you really need to take prenatal Vitamins everyday?! My doctor told me during the first few weeks to skip every other day because I was so sick but now I just wonder if that was a good/bad thing. I don't take them everyday and I feel fine BUT of course I want the best for my baby. I have a family member who claimed she didn't know she was pregnant until she was in labor so naturally she did not  take prenatals and her baby is fine. What are your opinions? Are prenatals needed or just extra caution for baby's health?
