Feeling guilty about prenatal vitamins?

Question

I had HG in my current pregnancy and just stopped taking my prenatals. Now I'm almost 3rd tri and still haven't gotten back on them. Luckily the baby is measuring super great and is all healthy but I'm wondering if these vitamins despite being good for you are 100% as important as ppl make them sound?? Were you religiously on vitamins?

Answer

Gummy vitamins

Answer

I think essential in first trimester but I think after that stage of development, they're not as vital. I'm still in first trimester and sometimes forget for a couple days. Not stressed 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Folic acid is needed in the first trimester. But baby will take anything they need from mom. So you are the one you are hurting not taking them.

Answer

Prenatal vitamins are super important, especially in the first trimester. Most of us don't get all the nutrients we need through food. Some women will have healthy babies without but I would never take that chance.

Answer

They are 100% important in the first trimester. My baby was born with anencephaly and folic acid helps to prevent that. I'm so happy your baby is ok! I have HG too and I'm worried about all the meds I have to be on but it's the only way to keep everything down for baby.

Answer

they aren't necessarily as long as you're eating what you need to. I was so sick I couldn't keep them down, my baby was born 9lbs 2oz EXTREMELY healthy and perfect, I'm very healthy. just make sure you're getting what you need through your diet

Answer

Honestly I stopped taking my prenatals  and I'm in my third trimester too but I just recently started taking the gummies so idk
