serious question

kiya90

I am 12 weeks pregnant and in the beginning I took my prenatal pills faithfully. But then this pregnancy took a turn for the worst! I had the worst morning sickness from 4 weeks until just recently I've been Btr (knock on wood). Do you preglys think that since I haven't taken my prenatal pills in a month, its gonna have a bad effect on the development of my baby

Thanks! My friend swears my baby will have a birth defect because of it

From what I understand the prenatal pills are just like vitamins for the baby...a lot of women only take them in their first trimester...although I try to take mine everyday and I end up only taking like 3 a week haha I'm pretty sure it doesn't have such a dramatic negative effect such as a birth defect...

If the pills make you nausea, I would try to switch to one that doesnt. Sometimes you have to try out a few. For me, the target brand works the best

It wasn't the pills. I couldn't keep water spit food or anything down. So I stopped taking them

Tell ur Dr. He can prescribe u ZOFRAN ODT. its an anti nausea Med that dissolves on top of ur tongue. No swallowing and fetus safe. Then get the gummy prenatals at Walmart. They stay down easier. Take the prenatal about 10-15 mins after the zofran

Try vitfusion prenatal vitamins they sell them at target go to target.com they have really good reviews...the only thing they don't have is iron but from what I've heard calcium cancels out iron so it's a good thing they don't have both so what you can do is. Take these Gummy vitamis then take a chewy iron tablet that's what I've been doing any other vitamin makes me nauseous

The pills aren't really for the baby. They are for you. The baby takes all he vitamins from your body. So what's left for you? That's why there are prenatal vitamins. There are women who don't take them at all and baby comes out perfectly healthy. Try to take the vitamins at night.

Preggers due oct 22! 2nd pregnancy.
