Prenatal Vitamins

When i first found out i was preggo, (4 weeks) i started taken my prenatal vitamins, though i would miss some days, starting at 7 weeks i would take them very rarely becuz i had been so sick with vomitting, since then i have rarely taken them, sometimes its weeks in a row i miss them. the last one i took was just now and i took one last week thursday or friday. Will skipping them hinder my babies health in any way?

I don't think it will hinder his/her health.  When I had my 2 kids, I did not take any kind of vitamins at all, because I couldn't swallow those big pills!  I did have to take iron pills though.  But, both my kids turned out very healthy and still are (they are 12 and 15 now).  With my current pregnancy I found out that it's okay to take the chewable Flintstone's vitamins, so I take that everyday.

ok good! i was mainly concerned because of iron and folic acid i know folic acid is really important espeacially in the first 12 weeks. if i cant handle these stone pills either i think ill run to the flinstones too! lol

I know how you feel. I had a very hard time swollowing the prenatal vitamins and keeping them down so I stpped taking them. My OB told me since I'm not animic, I can take 2 gummy bear vitamins a day. I actually look forward to taking them now!! I'm 15wks 4d
