I'm about to sound like one bad momma but I need opinions. I stopped taking my prenatals for a few weeks because they were making me so sick. I can't afford anything but the gummies from Walmart. Which my dr knows I take those. But I'm starting back up now at 31 weeks. Do you think that my lack of them could have caused problems ? I'm starting to feel guilty but didn't think too much of it until now. I stopped for probably about 4-5 weeks. I started reading that it can cause cleft lip and things such as that. Have any of you mommies stopped taking yours or never took any during pregnancy? I took them all through my first trimester and almost completely through my second.

I took them at the beginning with my son but they made me unbearably sick so I stopped taking them before the 2nd trimester and he turned out fine.

That makes me feel so much better !! I saw mommies really getting slammed about it and didn't realize it was such a big deal once baby was developed pretty fully. I know they still really need the nutrients but I didn't realize it could apparently cause birth defects.

yeah, it all depends on the person. sadly my sis in law didn't take prenatal pills at all with her 2nd pregnancy and her baby was born with jaundice.

All of my siblings and I had jaundice even though my mom took her prenatals. @jrg6515 so I expect my daughter may get it due to genetics if that's possible.

I forgot all to take them all the time i think i took them about 2 weeks then maybe 5 more time my whole pregnancy and my daughter was born healthy and is 7 months old and has only had one cold.

nope I didn't take them just DHA & I was told the vitamins were more for me than for him he would take the vitamins from my body

you're good girl just be careful I got severely anemic

well like I said, it all depends on the person. not every pregnancy is the same. and jaundice isn't as serious tho. as long as the baby is healthy everything is fine.
