Prenatals

Are we all diligently taking our prenatal vitamins? What happens if we don't take them??

Yes! Bc we don’t get all of those nutrients in our food(at least I don’t and I eat pretty decent) I think it’s fine if you don’t bc I’ve heard babies have been just fine (talk to ur dr) but i think we should take them to support baby’s growth

I take mine almost everyday..they’re important for providing nutrients to both you and your baby , if you have a healthy diet you should be ok.??? they say it can lead to health deficiencies if not taken. So the the one or two days i miss taken them i try to just make up for it .

Maybe controversial (?) but I didn’t take them with my first baby or this one and my babies have been 100% healthy 😊 I’m not anti-prenatal at all hahah I think they’re great, but they just made me nauseous and lose my appetite, so if my option was to take a vitamin and not eat, or no vitamin and be able to eat anything - I’d rather be able to eat real food! (I also know tonssss of women who were in the same boat as me and didn’t take them) but again, if you have no side effects from yours, then totally take them! I do take a couple single vitamins (like b12 for example) separately for other reasons, so I’m sure that has helped! Other than that I eat a lot of protein, vegetables, fruit, nuts, etc. 😊 just look up what foods have those essential pregnancy vitamins and load up on those! Also wanna add - at all of my blood panels my levels have always been perfect (like no iron deficiency, etc!) hope this helps give another perspective!

Yes I take my two prenatal vitamins daily in the morning.

I did so well with it my first pregnancy 😂 this time around with a toddler I’m a bit more forgetful. I take it majority of the time but have definitely skipped some days. It’s okay to miss some, ideally your diet is so wonderful that you get your nutrients through there BUT majority of people are not able to get all the many nutrients they need in the amounts they need through diet alone so it is recommended to take your prenatal. If you don’t take it you’ll likely just feel more like 💩 because the baby will drain you of your own nutrient stores.

Yep there right next to my bed so when I get up I’ll see them

I struggled taken them because of nausea, but I just switched to the Amazon brand and those are pretty good! Helps me take them for sure

Yes, but I also sometimes forget🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ve been trying to do it at night after I eat but then I either fall asleep or I forget.

So far I haven’t missed a day and I’m at 12 weeks but I have a bottle at home and one at work to ensure I don’t miss. I don’t always take at the same time but I do take it daily

I’ve always been awful at taking daily pills but I’m trying my best! I know that I miss a few here so I am more adamant about eating a nutrient dense colorful diet so I can at least have that as a back up.
