Question........pre-natal vitamins

Hey girls!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone NOT take vitamins throughout the pregnancy?? I didnt take them in the beginning because I was severly sick with m/s so the dr told me not to ake them. Everytime I trieds to take them , I ended up getting sick. Now I am 23 weeks and started to take iron pills, but I have been concerned about not taking vitamins throughout my preganancy. By not taking them, does it harm the baby??

Re: Question........pre-natal vitamins

I didn't take pre-natal vitamins for the same reason as you, had terrible M/S. I took my one a day womens vitamins, and my Dr said that would be fine.

Re: Question........pre-natal vitamins

okay...I just feel bad and worried that I really havent taken any...I will try the one a day

Thanks!

Re: Question........pre-natal vitamins

Your welcome, dont feel bad I didn't take them the first few weeks cause I was sooo sick and couldnt keep anything down. The one a day vitamins didn't bother me at all, I was happy I was able to take something for my baby, and the pre-natal's have the same stuff in it as the one a day, just not as strong.

I didn't take them when I was pregnant with Maddie. The smell of them made me sick. I was told I was better off being able to keep food down than to take them.
