Is it horrible that i don't take prenatals?

Question

I haven't actively been taking my prenatal vitamins.  I never took them before 15 weeks, I sort of took them a few times a week from 15-24 weeks, but ever since I have rarely if ever taken them. Baby is progressing about 2 weeks ahead and I'm 33 weeks. I'm a FTM and super worried. Thoughts? :(

Answer

I’ve not taken them with any of my pregnancies(this is my third) my first two were perfectly healthy and so is this one.

Answer

Its not horrible. I took them from a month or 2 before I ttc until my dr told me to stop at 7 weeks bc I was so sick. They told me to take flinstone vitamins, but I never bothered.  You’re brave to post this. I posted about it earlier in pregnancy and got chewed out by all these know it alls.  The only way I get vitamins in is by drinking ensure.

Answer

If you get sick find some with lower dosis, the baby will be fine because it’s taking everything from you. 
If you don’t have enough calcium it’ll come right off your bones and you may even lose teeth :/ 
So it’s better to take them asap, they even help you recover after birth. 
So don’t stress about baby but care for you.

Answer

Start taking them now and it’s good to continue taking them after birth. I keep my prenatals next to my toothbrush so it’s apart of my routine before bed.

Answer

I barely took mine, no matter how I took then I was always sick. All of my children are fine

Answer

There’s no point in stressing now that you’re near the end, but I would start taking them!

Answer

No, I'm sure you and baby are fine. I don't take prenatals.. But i do take a gummy multivitamin. Something about the prentals kills my stomach.

Answer

The prenatal is mostly for your own wellbeing, because baby will strip you of what she/he needs regardless of whether you have enough for yourself or not. You may lose bone density and other side effects if you aren’t getting enough through food and lifestyle (vitamins from the sun too 🙂)

Answer

No. If you are getting all your nutrition from your diet then you don’t need them. You will just piss out extra vitamins anyways

Answer

Prenatal are more for you. Bc your baby is literally sucking the life out of your organs.. babies will take what they need regardless.
