prenatal question

so two nights this week i fell alseep and forgot to take my prenatal, i am 13 weeks, is this a big deal? Will it harm the baby not to get the vitamins for thoes two days? Thanks!!

Re: prenatal question

Not a big deal at all.

I am 20 weeks and last week when I saw my dr I told her I was having a hard time going to the bathroom and she told me it was ok to take the prenatals every other day.
Eta: Some people do not take prenatals at all. If you have a fairly healthy diet you can get a lot of the nutrients you need (except folic acid)

Re: prenatal question

It doesnt harm the baby, especially if you only miss it for 2 days.

When you miss it enough, the baby will start to take nutrients from you. You will notice your teeth deteriorate, you may become anemic, etc....
