Vitamins??

Question

How crucial is the prenatal vitamin at this point in the pregnancy (32 weeks) if you are eating super healthy and STILL feel like vomiting every single time after taking the vitamin? Basically I just want justification to stop taking them bc I find them to be torture!!!! 😫😫😫😫😫 the smell. Oh the smell....

Answer

It's a supplement. It supplements what you are already eating. Even if you eat "very healthy" it doesn't mean you're getting the right amounts of all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and acids your baby and body needs to perform at its best. Especially folic acid, magnesium, vit K. These are some that we don't necessarily get enough of. Idk about you but it's been getting harder and harder to eat the amount of vegetables, greens, nuts, seeds, protein, fat, and carbs that my 160 lb body needs. Sometimes I'm too tired to eat. Please take care of yourself if not for you then the precious little person inside of you. It's only for a little while more. Well, I take prenatals even after I give birth since breastfeeding requires some extras too but it's up to you.

Answer

I know it's awful but I have not taken them the whole pregnancy and did not with my first either! They made me sick  and I just don't want be sick anymore!

Answer

Try taking New Chapter prenatal's or MegaFood Baby & Me. It helped me. If that doesn't work maybe try the gummy vitamins? You've come this far and it's only a few more weeks at this point. You want your baby to get the best nutrients possible right? Just google prenatal's that won't make you gag and are more palatable (like the gummies!) and don't worry you will get through this! None of this will even matter anymore once you are holding your baby in your arms! Hang in there and best of luck!

Answer

I buy the Meijer store brand with dha. No weird smell. And they're not crazy huge. I take it either with dinner or before bed and haven't had any problems. The only one that grossed me out was the gummy ones

Answer

Kroger and Wal-Mart have gummie ones that are much more bearable, I had some that smelled god-awful, and I couldn't take them, so I switched to gummies

Answer

Honestly I haven't taken them consistently since like 14 weeks, I'm 34 weeks now and he seems to be okay!! I still try to take them sometimes but I usually just make sure I'm eating balanced foods and not too much of one thing

Answer

I have t taken them consistently since about 15 weeks. Bubba is growing lots and we're both in excellent health! I take them occasionally when I've had a 'bad' eating day or if I feel unwell.

Answer

You dont need prenatals after the first trimester u leas directed otherwise by your doc. I havent taken them since week 15ish, i eat like crap🤦🏻‍♀️ but me and my girl are both healthy. Just stop taking them!

Answer

I stopped taking mine after 3rd trimester started..

Answer

I stopped taking mines at around 28 weeks because it gave me bad constipation which caused me to have vertigo. I was using the nuturemade brand. Then I switched to the gummies and they were to sweet and gave me a sugar rush so I stoped taking them all together. from time to time I'll break one of the nature made ones in half and take it but not consistently.
