Are prenatal pills really safe?

Question

I have been doing research into this and have found that even some obgyns don't recommend prenatal vitamins instead they suggest a diet full of dairy, grains, and greens. What are your thoughts?

Answer

Prenatal vitamins are a supplement, they're not supposed to replace a healthy eating lifestyle, they are simply meant to complement it.

Answer

You should get your vitamins from food. Our bodies can't absorb synthetic vitamins well. My midwife doesn't push them.

Answer

I did significant research on them as well and found out that a vast majority of prenatal are lab made concotions of synthetic vitamins and unnecessary fillers.

I moniter my macro and micro intake and came to the conclusion that it would be extremely hard for me to ingest the exact amount of nutrients I need everyday, so I found one prenatal vitamin that isnt complete crap.

Answer

Food based !

Answer

Prenatals are a supplement, not a fix all pill for health when it comes to pregnancy. Considering how some women aren't able to eat much at all in the first trimester I feel like they're vitally important to a healthy pregnancy in the beginning. The baby is always going to get what it needs reguardless of if you have enough for the both of you. Prenatal vitamins help you get what you need if you're not able to eat a completely healthy and perfectly balanced pregnancy diet. Taking them is 100% up to you because baby will always get what it needs first, it's the vitamin stores meant for you that will suffer in the long run.

Answer

Food based organic are the healthiest. The prescription kind are synthetic

Answer

I eat organic and take these non GMO prenatal vitamins. They are also raw.

Answer

After having a miscarriage my doctor advised me NOT to take prenatals this time during my pregnancy. He suggested children's vitamins only and a healthy diet. I never took prenatals with my first two pregnancies and my babies were perfectly fine..I took them with my third and baby died at 13-14w. After a long discussion with my doctor-he agreed that MAYBE it was linked due to my sensitivity to supplements and medications but we will never know.

Answer

You don't have to take them. They're probably safe but unnecessary with a healthy diet.
