Is it okay to skip prenatal once in a while?

Question

I’ve tried every brand. This is my second pregnancy. The constipation is horrible with each one and I take two collace a day! I’m almost 18 weeks and I found it helped last pregnancy to skip it once a week to get some relief. Thoughts?

Answer

when I was pregnant with twins 6 years ago I couldn't do them at all. they made me feel so bad and made the morning sickness worst.oce the sickness was was gone I just focused on eating really healthy.

Answer

You’ll be fine. I don’t take prenatals, just ensure, and my ob is ok with it since they make me really sick.

Answer

According to my dr it’s absolutely fine! She advised me to take folic acid the first trimester and vitamin d in the darker winter months. Other than those she told me extra vitamins aren’t needed with a healthy and varied diet (which I have). Although I take pregnancy vitamins I do skip them once or twice a week because of constipation and sometimes just because I forget 🤷🏻‍♀️
Maybe run it by your dr to make sure it’ll be fine, and perhaps get some remedies for the constipation! Good luck and healthy pregnancy x

Answer

You’ll be fine. I can’t take prenatals because they give me kidney stones.
