prenatal vitamins

so im 17 weeks prego... & i dont think ive taken any of my prenatals in like a month or so. im not hurting my baby am i? opinions??

eh, I didn't take them very often, they always made me puke. Just eat healthy and drink lots of water.

Im pregant with my 4th nd ive probably taken less than a full bottle in my whole life.

What is your reason for not taking them? You need those vitamins. I took a calcium supplement with my first. Not my second and lost tons of hair. The prenatal is actually for you.

i know my mom said she didnt take not one with me nor my 2 sisters and we turned out just fine lol. and i just dont do pills. i dont take tylonal.. if im in pain ill sleep it off... if im sick... ill sweat it away...vitamins or not they are still pills... i guess i really havent taking pills for 5 years now.. none... not since i overdosed when i was 13... but im still alive lol without any medicine  

I barely take mine because they make me throw up and my baby is perfectly fine.

thats what i thought.. but ofcourse wanted other opinions

u can take gummi prenatals or 2 flintstones chewables i ground my prenatals up and put them in yogurt or apple sauce but i got so constapated the last week and half i only took them 1 time but im 40 weeks and 3 days but i have forgotten about 1-2 times a week and my baby was measureing small and i i had to go for months for u/s's so i felt bad and tried to remember to take them and she caught up about a month and half ago

so not taking prenatals can make the baby small?

Quoting DasaHill:" so not taking prenatals can make the baby small?"

Not really. like someone else said, its more for your nutrition, not the babies. they just leach off of you. My youngest i only took maybe 3 the whole time, and she was 8lbs 7 oz.
