prenatal?

Question

has anyone stopped taking prenatals after being 4 months pregnant? i know it’s better to take it throughout your pregnancy but is it really necessary after 4 months? has anyone not taken it & had a healthy baby?

Answer

You should continue to take them even after baby is born if you are going to breastfeed.

Answer

Well unless you’re eating super well, you or baby will likely be deficient in a lot of things.

Answer

Baby will take what they need from you, but you can become deficient in some things and it’s especially not good for you or the baby if you become low on iron and calcium.

Answer

I basically stopped taking them around that point. I became irregular at taking it and then eventually stopped altogether around 6 months. I’m not deficient in anything and Dr has never been like “oh you should really try to take them”.

Answer

I did round that time. Baby and I were both healthy and no deficiency in anything. I was eating rubbish as well. The midwife actually said I could stop taking them as the folic acid had already completed its most important job and I was vomiting them up most days anyway.

Answer

My best friend had severe HG and couldn’t keep her prenatal down so she just didn’t take it..she eats a very well balanced diet full of whole healthy foods. She did have a perfectly healthy baby, although he was a bit small BUT after pregnancy she had some vitamin deficiencies and her teeth were more fragile and had to have more dental work. All to say..baby will take what is needed from what mom has in her system. So there may not be enough for baby (if mom doesn’t eat well), just enough for a healthy baby but not enough for mom, or enough for mom or baby. Idk if that helps?

Answer

The baby will not be affected. The prenatal is helping you. I’m taking it because I want to keep myself healthy now and after the baby is here. Nobody eats enough healthy foods to get all their vitamins in.
