Skipping Prenatal Vitamins?

Question

Is it okay to skip a prenatal vitamin every once in a while? I am almost 28 weeks pregnant and I don't remember if I took my vitamin today or not, but I'm also EXTREMELY constipated, so I was wondering if skipping a day once or twice a month is okay?
Will it hurt my son?

Answer

Don't worry, mama. Just try your best to take them every day. I threw mine up several times in the first trimester, and didn't want to take more in case some of it had already metabolized before the barfing. Shrug. We do the best we can :) I put mine in a seven day dispenser and take them before bed so I know for sure if I skipped a day (and it's easier for me to remember).

Your fine I've hardly taken prenatals my whole pregnancy I've tried 5 differnt brands and all make me sick! My mums a midwife and said as long as your eating really healthy then all you really need is an iron supplement and if you don't eat red meat some B12. 😊

Answer

You're totally fine. Obviously don't make it a habit but your baby is going to be just fine if you miss a day or two. All prenatals are are nutrients for your baby in case your not eating or not eating well. Our great-great grandparents didn't have them and babies turned out just fine.
