prenatal vitamins

Ok when i found out i was pregnant i trt takibg prenatal vitamins but they just make me worst. So i told my midwife im not taking any for the rest of my pregnancy so she ask ne about my diet abd i tokd her i actually did not have to change my diet cause at my house we eat a lot of greens, vegetables, beans red meat, some eggs and fish, i drink a glass of milk everyday, juice and water a lot of it...she said my diet was ok for me not to continue with my prenatals...everyone keeps pressuring me to take them and its mad annoying bcuz so far my baby is active luke it should and healthy as far as any of tge doctors can tell...my question is: can i continue my pregnancy without having to have any prenatal vitamins?  How can i stop ppl from hounding me about not taking any?

Well it's for ur baby !...so I wouldn't be too picky . Try target brand they don't make u sick take at night. I hated prenatal a but u gotta suck it up and take them so ur baby has what he or she needs.

Prenatals are more for u the baby going to get all its nutrients from ur body so the prenatals are to help u stay strong etc not taking them won't hurt the baby just try taking the flinstones ones to at least get u some type of vitimians in ur body but not taking them won't harm the baby :) I take my off n on n my lil girl is growing fine :)

Do what's best for you :) if midwife says diet is good and you don't have to, then don't. People tend to give advice. Sometimes people don't know what's best for you. And read the above comment Imade. Millions of years babies have been born before the concpet of prenata  was thought of.... just saying darling

Oh btw, how do you think women all these ages gave birth to children when there were no such things as prenatals? Keep that in mind :)

Have you tried taking the pill before bed? Some women wait to take it at night so you'll sleep through your sickness. :)

I wouldn't go without taking prenatal vitamins, the consequences aren't pleasant   . They made me feel so much worse, the best thing to do is take them at night right after you eat right before you're about to fall asleep, you won't get sick and the next morning you'll feel so much better
