Yeah I don't take prenatals because they make me extremely sick. But I make sure I take folic acid pills every day.
I didn't take them with my first two kids and they're just fine & healthy! I think they're more for you & to keep you healthy because my dr told me that the baby will take what it needs (vitamins wise) and leave you with nothing if it has to
Im not sure if it is because my mom didnt take hers neither did my cousins. My dr told if i throw up alot or feel like i need to all the time to stop taking them i haven't took them in 3weeks?
its not bad , just make sure you eat well . Fiber, fruits, vegetables etc. & make sure you take in the right amount of calories & stay active. You should be fine
Forgetting to take one occasionally is no biggy, just try to remember! It also does not mater what time of day you take it, so if it is easier for you to remember to take it before you go to bed vs. when you wake up, then do that!
