Off of Prenatals.. bad?

Question

So I was on prenatals for a few months (Rainbow One to be exact) - got pregnant and miscarried at 7 weeks. After a horrendous D&C with complications, I was told to wait 3 cycles minimum, keep taking Prenatals, add folic acid and baby aspirin daily as a precaution.

I have a very stubborn inner-self that wants to see if I am able to get pregnant on my own like sooooooo many 'oops I'm pregnant' mothers, without taking anything. Almost in spite of my miscarriage. This sounds dumb as I type it but I'm adamant that if its not supposed to happen, it's not going to regardless. I have a lot of faith in God.

Has anyone thought/done this? No prenatals at all, purposely, and had a healthy child? I've not been told anything is wrong with me (other than slightly lower progesterone) and I have a clean bill of health. I'm active, 30 years old, married, and ready. I just can't be the only one resenting this process.. I'd rather it happen on its own. Baby dust to all!

**** UPDATE****

The reason (I found) that I got bloated and why I threw an emotional fit, is bc I was pregnant and didn't know yet! 
I'm back to taking my Prenatals, baby aspirin, and added folic acid. Thanks for trying to talk sense into me, I was clearly just being a brat.

Answer

I don't understand. Prenatals don't help you get pregnant. The folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects. Sure people do have healthy babies without taking them, but it's better to take the prenatal. It's one pill a day and helps you maintain a healthy body to grow your child.

Answer

The prenatal, folic acid and the aspirin are to help the baby get the stuff your diet may be deficient in, especially of you get pregnant and have horrible morning sickness. They advise all women that want to get pregnant to take a prenatal 3 month prior to trying. The aspirin is to help with possible clotting issues. 
These things are to give your baby the best possible start to life. Not to boost your chances of getting pregnant.

Answer

Why would you want to risk it and not give your baby the best chances? I'm sure you can get pregnant without prenatals but I don't understand why you wouldn't take them

Answer

If you don't do what the doctor suggested and end up having another mc you're going to regret it. You'll feel guilty and angry with yourself and always wonder if your baby would have survived if you had just listened to the doctor. Just something to think about.

Answer

Why are u so against vitamins? Its not like u r taking a type of drug... its good for u ...and if u fall pregnant it will be good for the baby. Yes true a lot of mothers just fall pregnant by looking at a penis :) but some like u and me have to do a bit of work and need a bit of help. Even God helps those who help themselves... all the best tho

Answer

I was 17 when I had my first. And I had 2 more, one on my 21St birthday and another one 5 months later. 
I had healthy babies at 19, 22, 27 and now I am 31 and 37 weeks.

Answer

If you have so much faith in God and feel that if it's supposed to happen, it will. What's the difference of taking the vitamins or not? If you do take them, it will happen, and if you don't take them, it will still happen. Unless you think the prenatals are detrimental to your pregnancy and had something to do with the miscarriage, which is crazy because they are just extra vitamins, I would say just keep taking them for the sake of your future baby, and you! I know people that take prenatals that are actively avoiding pregnancy, just for their health. Sure, you can have a healthy baby without them, but why even risk anything? It's the bare minimum that you can do for your health while TTC and while pregnant.

Answer

If I were TTC I would definitely take the prenatals.. Just to build up your body's nutrition
