I've been forgetting my prenatal everyday for the past week, but I actually have an appetite now that I haven't been taking it and I'm still getting sick, but not nearly as bad. Is it really necessary to take it past the first trimester?

try the 2 flinstones a day it helped me tremendously with my previous pregnancy. the prenatals i take now don't make me sick luckily but in the past they made me sick everytime. 2 flinstones multivitamin helped me a lot and was told to do this by my ob so its definitely safe. i was also told take the vitamins the ENTIRE pregnancy.

Not taking vitamins hurts you more than baby cause baby will steal all they need from your body I forget mine too at times bit just take them when you can

Two flinstones a day and if u can there is some other vitamins like A/B/C that can help as well just ask your doctor what vitamins you can take instead so you dont get sick. I mixed flinstones and other vitamins cause certain days my prenatals made me vomit and i felt bad not having any vitamins in my tummy so id take some of those instead :)

I haven't taken my prenatal vitamin my whole pregnancy and I'm 14 weeks. They make me too sick. I tried taking 2 childrens gummy multivitamins daily but they also made me deathly ill.
