I just found out I’m pregnant (5 weeks) and I haven’t been taking prenatal vitamins. Can this cause harm to baby?

Question

Answer

Vitamins aren’t really necessary unless told otherwise through bloodwork. If you eat a variety of foods it’s all good.
Folic acid the first 12 weeks is recommended though, I was lazy in both of my pregnancies and forgot about it all the time but my children is all good.

Answer

You can take just a multivitamin, but be sure to add in folic acid! Prenatals make lots of women sick

Answer

I stopped taking them at 10 weeks because they would make me vomit. I tried 5 different brands. I have a perfectly healthy 3 month old.

Answer

Just start them now and you’re good!

Answer

I never took them and I have healthy children

Answer

Just start asap! It’ll be fine!
