Natural diet, Nutrients, & Prenatal Vitamins

[alaynay2015]

Do you need to take prenatal vitamins, even if you already eat a healthy natural diet that gives you 100% of the nutrients you and your baby need?

Does anyone have knowledge/experience with this?

I couldn't keep the pre-natal vitamins down so I haven't taken them at all my doctor said as long as i take folic acid everyday and eat healthy meals baby will be perfect.  I am almost 32weeks along and everything is going very well.  I also just think of the days when our parents and grandparents were pregnant there was none of this you have to take vitamins and you can't eat this or that.... we're perfectly fine.  as long as you stay healthy you're doing nothing wrong ;)

I literally eat anything! I had horrible MS on my 1st tri. I'm 31 weeks now and just eats everything I can. No alcohol though , unless its non alcoholic. I take my prenatals daily plus folic acid coz I'm also taking my anti seizure meds daily. So its really addtl protection for the baby...

Baby takes a lot from you so even eating a well balanced diet, baby will take what it needs before your body does.
