Forgot Prenatal Vitamins

Tags: prenatal, vitamins, Pregnancy, maternal, Baby, embryo, neural, supplement

I forgot to take my Prenatal vitamins from about my 9.5 week to 12.5 week (LMP). Could I have caused serious harm to the embryo, such as neural tube defects? Or will the baby take what it needs from my body even if I don't take a supplement?
