Take the prenatals at night before you go to bed.


I think it's a bit late to help any with the development of your baby, but better late than never.

First off, it's never too late. Second, what kind of quack are you seeing?! Prenatals are VERY important to your baby!!! It has the extra nutrition you aren't providing. Begin taking them immediately and if you ever get pregnant in the future, TAKE THEM as soon as you know. Mine made me sick, too but I found ways around it by taking them with a meal late at night before bedtime. Prenatals help your baby grow, and I don't understand why you're doctor wouldn't tell you how important they are.

As for the development of your baby, for the most part, your little one is fully developed minus the weight and lungs. It isn't likely they are going to help the baby develop anymroe, you missed that by a long shot. I am so floored by this question, and by the fact your doctor was made aware of you not taking them.

That's what I was thinking when I saw your post lol I've never heard of a doctor saying "Just don't take them." No freaking way!!! I forced myself. I am working on number three and I've taken them all the way through every single time.

I quit taking them when I got into my 3rd trimester. I just kept forgetting.

yea like when i go visit him he never tells me nething bout it or ask me but it came tome when i see gurls here talking bout vitamins so starting tommorow ill start to take them againg thank u very much gurls for been polite in answering really helped bcuz not even my fam asks me if im taking vitamins they just say ddrink lots of milk fruitss nd stuff u knownd my hubby hes like me he was curious too i have a full packed prenatal pills jusr chilling in my kitchen for like 4 months now they will all be gone thank u gurlss

But you took them at the most VITAL time in your pregnancy, which is the very beginning. Forgetting at the end is not a big deal mostly because your baby is developed and it's mostly for your own energy in nutrition as the little leech inside of your body literally sucks the life out of you lol

well i took my prenatal vitamins everyday in the beggining at my second trimester i couldnt ne more i was to sick and kept trowing it up so i stoped nd havent taken them ever since but i do eat lots of fruits and drink lots of water and stuff i go to 2 doctors and they always check my baby the heartbeat i got the blood test too and everything is good my baby is developt very good too and we found out hes a boy lol but do u gurls think i should take them or is it just to late well sum gurls are right better late then never

They say the most important time to take prenatals are at the VERY beginning of pregnancy, when you first find out. And did you try other methods of taking them? Like with a meal before you went to bed? It should never have crossed your mind to stop, honestly. But like I told the other girl, now it's just for the benefit of your own energy.

As for eating lots of fruits and drinking water, you're supposed to do that along with taking your prenatals. You aren't exactly doing anything that would be considered out of the ordinary, or going to extra lengths to get what those vitamins would give you. And yes, on the ultrasounds he looks great, his heartbeat (which they listen to at every prenatal visit) may be fine, but there are still things that could be wrong come time of birth, things that could have been prevented by taking your prenatals. Now, there is a perfectly good chance of him being perfectly fine, but don't take that as a sign of it being fine not to take the vitamins if you ever get pregnant again. They really are important to your baby's early growth and development, including his brain and spine.

oh gosh....

I don't even know what to say. I'm speechless.
