Question....i know prenatals are important to take but i feel so quilty i hardly have taken them this pregnancy cuz they make me so constipated. Can not taking prenatals harm my baby?
With my son I was so nauseous I couldn’t taken them at all until about 17 weeks then I took them a few days a week. Just try to eat a varied diet and get all the food groups in.
I'm no doctor so I'm just sharing my own experiences, I dont think it should harm your baby~
I didnt know about my youngest until I was 21 weeks and hadn't been on prenatals aswell as stopped taking them around 34 weeks because they started making me feel sick. when I told my doctor, I was told not to worry and that alot of the vitamins prenatals give you are to replace what the baby takes from your own stock. I'd still talk to your ob or primary doctor about it but not taking them until you find better ones or different kinds shouldnt be harmful
You want to know how many I’ve taken this pregnancy? 5 yes 5 I’m 23 weeks and I’ve taken 5 of my prenatals, they make me feel sick no matter what I do. I take them but not like we are supposed to and my baby girl is developing just as she’s supposed to, she’s actually a week ahead. I think you’re totally fine mama.
@kaitlinl20, yeah I really think we’re okay. There’s food that you can eat that contain folic acid. So if you’re still worried just google what foods have folic acid and it’s the same as taking the prenatals. 🙂
