Do you consider prenatal vitamins a " must"

Question

I rather keep it old school  ,just eat healthy

Answer

Most women can't get enough of the needed vitamins per day through food, hence the vitamins. Back in the day when everything was mainly raw and organic, it was a lot easier. This is especially important for pregnant women and even healthy eating can leave you short. I'd rather take the vitamins knowing I'm getting what I need along with eating well than risk birth defects and me and my baby's health.

Answer

I don't really understand why you WOULDN'T take a prenatal (provided you can afford it).  Wouldn't you want to give your pregnancy every chance you can go be a healthy one?

Answer

Its actually more for YOU than it is for baby. The baby will take all the nutrients they need from your body regardless, leaving you with less. So you take prenatals to keep yourself nourished with nutrients :)

Answer

Folic acid is the main one that's SUPER SUPER important

Answer

Not the entire vitamin, but the folic acid is 1000% necessary.

Answer

Make sure you're taking folic acid at Least for your baby! You can get those without taking a prenatal. Prenatals (folic acid) help prevent birth defects, so you're really giving your baby as much as you can give them when you take them. 
I was told my a nurse Many years before TTC that the most important time to take them is before you know you're pregnant, and there is no down side to taking them. I eat mine with dinner to get as much absorption with the vitamins in my food as possible.
