prenatal pills importance ?

Question

I know people say its important to take them , my obgyn also prescribed me some iron pills the iron pills im okay with taking its just the prenatal pills that I dread taking .. I never really had a problem with them till one day I just threw it all up maybe its cause I didnt really eat that morning idk but I have not experienced morning sickness at all these 3 months ive been pregnant but I just hate the taste of the prenatals now and I usually take both the prenatals and the iron pills together at night but I forget to take them sometimes up to 4 times a week . I dont want it to affect my baby but if theyre not important to take after a certain amount of time i'd rather not . any opinions ??? at my first ultrasound appt . I found out I was 8 weeks pregnant so I didnt really take them at the important part of development of my baby

Answer

Ask for a different pre natal because my doc said to me if it doesn't agree with you tell me and I'll give you something else. I take citra natal B calm and I was told I was given this specific one because I had bad naeusea and it's supposed to help with that. It works well and has helped a lot. I take it 3 times a day though about every 6-8 hours and that's a bit annoying but hey, it works so I suck it up. Best of luck

Answer

I used to get sick when I took the pills too, I take Vitafusion Prenatals now and I look forward to taking them! They're delicious and they don't make you sick

Answer

They're important to replenish what your baby is taking from you. Try setting an alarm on your phone or putting the bottle of pills next to your toothbrush/ toothpaste or something like that. I've been horrible at remembering too but have been doing good lately

Answer

They are important, especially in the first trimester during the most critical period of development! Your baby needs plenty of folic acid, lack of folic acid can cause neural tube defects/spina bifida. So I would say to find the ones that work best for you, the gummy ones would probably be easier to take. And always eat with them, any vitamin will make you sick if taken without food!

Answer

I take my prenatal vitamins and iron pill before I go to bed and I eat before it helps make me not sick, they are really important to take

Answer

Folic acid is what's so important to prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida. If u can't tolerate prenatals at least take folic acid.

Answer

Talk to your doctor they could always get you ones that didn't make you sick it's better safe than sorry to take them and not risk anything with the baby

Answer

The folic acid is the most important one. But my OB told me it was only essential to take folic acid in the first 3 months of pregnancy. The other vitamins are only needed is your low on them

Answer

They are important and I was scared finding out at 20 weeks I was pregnant not taking them & just regular multivitamins( 1-a-day womens) but I'm lucky as I've been told my baby boy is healthy with no problems. I take CVS gummies and they are good plus I got them on sale buy 1 get 1 free which is still going on. They even have dha in them which I was told to look for and choline which I've read is important but many prenatals don't have. They have no iron but you can always take an extra if you don't get enough in your diet.

Answer

I take mine in the evening after a meal ... Seems easier on my stomach that way x
