Missed Pre Natal....

Hello ladies...


I know that this has been asked before but i can't seem to find the post...anyway... How bad is it to miss a pre natal vitamin??? We are going to start TTCing this month and i have been taking them since August 1. I looked this morning and it seems that i may have missed one day this week??

ANy answers would be great!

Thanks!!!

Re: Missed Pre Natal....

Does not matter-the reason you take pre natals before you get pg is because folic acid pretty much enters and leaves your body in one day. If you got pregnant and were not taking FA every day you could deprive your baby of it. However, most people get enough from their diets that one day won't matter. I take mine at night

No, you do not need to double up. It is not like BCP.

Re: Missed Pre Natal....

It doesnt matter at all.
Its the same as if you missed a multi vitamin and you werent TTCing.

When I start to any side effects from the prenatals, I skip them until I feel better. My mom didnt take them and people get preggo "by accident" all the time and have healthy babies so its no big deal.

It is okay to miss - definitely do not double up as you can o.d. on vitamins, esp if you take in too much iron.

I think the really important thing is the folic acid when you become pregnant. I still forget mine from time to time, or if I am super-heartburn-y I don't take them either.
