Omg i am feeling so shitty and hope my baby comes out normal cuz my friend told me that if u do not…

the baby takes nutrients from your body. I don't take prenatal vitamins. and my first daughter came out perfectly healthy. the vitamins are more for you rather than your baby

But how when everything u eat or drink goes to the baby

You won't feel the baby till you're 20-23 weeks

That's not true lol , I haven't taken any vitamins this pregnancy and my baby is fine thank gd , my mother never took them either she has 5 healthy kids . When you eat healthy the child eats healthy and receives all those Nutrients . The baby is connected to you therefore it eats all that u do and receives vitamins , iron n nutrients through those foods .

the vitamins restore those nutrients that baby is taking which you get nutrients also from the things you eat. that's why drs tell you to steer towards a healthy diet. like I'm anemic. so my baby takes that from my body which use to make me feel like crap. so I got prescribed iron supplements to help restore my iron count. baby takes everything they need from you.

Thats not true huh. it's ok ;)

I ment it's not true hun. your baby will be fine. if anything happens it won't be from not taking vitamins

I hope so cuz if my baby came out deformed i would feel shitty but i feel better knowing this now and my vitamins i have to chew and its not gummy ones either its crunchy n gross

Your friend needs to do some more research

@jess335, does your friend have kids??? anyways the vitamins actually helps the baby grow dnt listen to your friend your baby will be fine

Besides, your doctor monitors these things. With my first child I was anemic so they prescribed me an iron supplement. With this baby I have a vitamin d deficiency so the prescribed me vitamin d supplements. Don't listen to that friend anymore. Or better yet get some smarter friends.

Vitamins are for you, your body breaks down foods you eat and gives the baby what they need! I didn't take any and my little boy is perfect!

Well what if u don't take in all the foods you should so the baby grows right does the vitamin supplement for that

I have a obgyn appointment today any tips on what i should ask her

you definitely should be taking them, but not taking them doesn't guarantee your baby will be deformed. the biggest thing is that the baby gets folic acid, which prevents neural tube defects. but being 16 wks you're past that-if the baby has a defect now, there's nothing you can do about it. and 16 weeks is a little early to feel movement, it could be any day or a month from now. just start taking vitamins now, eat healthy, and dont stress. that's not good for the baby.

ask the doctor about what you're worried about...say you haven't been taking vitamins and ask how much of a risk that is to your baby. the doc will be able to give you a way better answer than anyone on here, unless they're also an obgyn...

I mean i take them but there be times i don't cuz i hate the taste of them

I cant wait to hear the baby heart beat again

Crackheads can have fully formed babies. You're ok :)

Thats so true i never thought about that
