What happens if you don't take your prenatal vitamins? Any mommies have experience this ? (I take mine but a friend of…

i dont think anything will really happen because depending on how healthy you are some people dont take the parental vitamins

I never took them with my son and he was fine and I don't take them now. I can't take them they make me sick.

I didn't take them at all....

I dont take mine at all the vitamins are for the mom not the baby. The only thing to worry about is your iron getting low farther along in the pregnancy.

I forget to take mine all the time thru all 5 of my pregnancies all are healthy!.....as long as you eat a round balanced meal you will be fine

@butterfly919, @mommy_of_3 she's fine. She hasn't had any complications so far but she never eats veggies because she can't stand them . She's been like that all her life. Tho she does eat fruits. She's so scared and I don't know how to help her

she will be fine without them I don't like any veggies and only eat fruits once in a while. She shouldn't worry too much.

@momma11161407, she has not ate one veggie yet and she's 31 weeks

It's recommended but not necessary. It's to supply your body the nutrients that your baby takes from you.

@rhia, she's fine with iron

if you eat right you should be fine . prenatals only supply extra amounts of the vitamins you already have because the baby takes them from your .

then all is fine ;) no worries

@mommy_of_3, thanks ! I'll call her to let her know. She makes everything hard for herself

I haven't took my prenatal vitamins for a while so would it make you sick?

@monilovesautumn, she's only eating fruits. No veggies cause she doesn't like them at all. Would her baby still come out fine ?

@rachelirene, no way! She's perfectly fine.

@k.haotic, Besides filling the gaps in nutrition they have folic acid which can help prevent neural tube defects in early pregnancy

lol. @shortizzie @rebcamdot that's why I'm scared if I didn't take them @k.haotic I'm sick all the time, is it from not taking them

She's fine. The prenatal vitamins are not for the baby, they are for her because the baby is taking her vitamins

@rachelirene, I went almost a month without taking them and I was perfectly fine .

@xaviermom1221, what about the veggie part ? She doesn't eat them at all.

Oh okay.

@k.haotic, It's most important to take them really early on because of the neural tube defects, spina bifida is a horrible thing! I'm still taking mine and will continue to postpartum too since I'm breastfeeding. My doctor also has me taking a non fish oil DHA vitamin for brain and eye development that I'll continue to take too. 😊

It's okay. I haven't took them and haven't ate veggies and so did everyone I know (sister, close friends) & the babies are perfect 😊

I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was about 10 weeks. That's two months 😩 and I didn't start the prenatals until 13 weeks omg @rebcamdot

@shortizzie @k.haotic but they don't all have the nutrients that the prenatals have them and they don't have folic acid in them. @rebcamdot that's the only part I'm worried about with not taking them I definitely don't want that to happen but they taste nasty and I hate swallowing em because it's hard

@k.haotic, But you're 29 weeks right and have had an anatomy scan? They would have seen any major neural tube defects then, so I'm sure your baby is just fine!

@k.haotic, My mother is a nurse practitioner/NICU nurse and basically a baby expert lol So when I told her I was pregnant and 5 weeks along she went right out and got me vitamins to start immediately! I've been lucky and they've never made me sick, I don't know if that's because I take them at night with a snack but never a problem for me!

@rachelirene, I take mine at night with a snack and I've never had a problem. I usually have applesauce or fruit and it covers the taste up. I've heard the gummies are easy to get down!

yeah well I just quit my job so I need to get money to get some.
