Prenatal vitamins

How important is it to take prenatal vitamins? The taste and smell really make me feel sick just wondering if they are really necessary or just a precaution?

you really do need them in the first 12 weeks to prevent neural tube defects (spina bifida) and other facial deformities such as cleft lip and/or palate. Which ones are you taking? experiment with different ones and see which ones don’t make you queasy.

My first son was born with a cleft lip, I didn’t know that was correlated, the doctors always said it’s not genetic just kind of random. Unfortunately I haven’t taken them for a month and now I’m regretting it😔

They definitely make me feel sick too! I switched to the gummy kind because they don't upset my stomach quite as much BUT they don't have iron so my dr wants me to switch back once the morning sickness lessens

Mine make me sick to my stomach as well but I just deal with it as best as I can and trust me mama it’s not easy the first ones I was put on didn’t make me sick but my pharmacy didn’t have them… so I was given other ones an I hate them lol

I can’t tell if one make me sick because I’m literally always nauseous! They did with my other 2 so I take them at night before I go to sleep and that helps. I switched to one a day advanced for the choline. I take it quickly because the choline pill is kind of sour tasting. I usually have deficiencies, so I think it’s important for me for sure. It’s been some years now, but I know a lady who did have enough calcium and lost all of her teeth because of it. Vitamins go thru baby first and you get what’s left lol.

Bassets gummies I found easier than the tablet or capsules xx

I’m always taking mine right after dinner, I take pregnacare, which can make me feel really ill! But I’ve found taking them with a full tummy it relieves any sickness a lot! But definitely recommend taking them for the first 12 weeks xx

I take the wild nutrition ones and im gagging even writing this thinking about them 🤣 taking them has got easier as my nausea has eased but i still gag every time. Stick with them if you can until 12 weeks. Mine i can take the whole way through and thats my plan ❤️

Yes you definitely need them

I have to take mine right before bed and with a sprite! I can’t take them with water! If you take it with something sugary, it may help!

Try taking them right before bed.

I take the smarty pants gummy prenatals when I can’t stomach the normal pills. It has most of the necessary vitamins just in a slightly lower quantity. Highly suggest, they taste like candy
