Will something go wrong with my baby if I don't take my prenatal?

Question

I am very sensitive to vitamins and I haven't taken my prenatals since early on in my pregnancy. How big of a deal is a prenatal? Is it necessary?

Answer

Prenatal vitamins are more for you than they are for the baby. Baby takes what baby needs- which leaves you with very little. So your LO will be fine, however it's best for you to take them.

Answer

I took them my first trimester, but I haven't taken them since. I am 37 weeks now and baby is fine. The first trimester they made me SO sick, and then after that I started getting a reaction to them no matter what type I took. So my doctor said I'd be fine if I didn't take them.

Answer

I would try to find gummies or something that works. Because prenatal vitamins are important for both you and the baby. Just one example is they contain folic acid which prevents neural tube defects like spina bifida. They're very important.

Answer

Unless your getting all of those  vitamins and minerals in your diet the. Prenatals are essential.  Especially folic acid. Which aids in the development of the central nervous  system

Answer

Everyone is different. If I were you I would ask your doctor.

Answer

With my first 5 pregnancies I never took them. I even tried juat taking Flinstones because the dr said it was better than nothing. 5 healthy almost 10 pound babies.

Answer

I stopped a couple months into my pregnancy with my daughter cuz they made me puke. Whether I ate or drank wanted or not. Nothing could help me keep them down. She was a 100% perfectly healthy baby. I haven't been taking them this pregnancy either and he seems to be doing great. I'll be done in tow weeks so I'll know for sure then but if you can stomach them of course taking them is better than not but it won't necessarily make your baby unhealthy if you don't.

Answer

If you're in the first trimester, I would DEFINITELY find something I could take. The folic acid is extremely important in the early weeks.
