I've tried many many brands thru both my pregnancies and have had severe vomiting because of all brands. My body is not very good at absorbing extra vitamins. Doctor told me it's fine and not to worry about them as they cause me more stress then benefits. My kids are both normal and healthy. Honestly kids have survived generations without this sort of exact vitamin so I don't see the big deal. Yes it's good if you can but don't feel guilty if you can't.

Prenatals give you extra vitamin intake because baby is taking vitamins from your body. So taking prenatals everyday is a great benefit to you and to baby. These vitamins will help your hair and nairs grow and help with babied development. So no your babys hair and nails just dont grow but its giving your baby all around goodness so he or she can come out healthy and strong.

Some of them can have to much iron and can cause constipation. I'm having that problem with mine right now.  I'm calling my Dr in the morning to see what other types he recommends

They are just to help make sure you and baby are getting all of the nutrients possible. As long as I take them on a full stomach it has no negative effects. My friend swears that hers allows her to have energy, and her hair and nails grow quicker and healthy.

Both you and baby are getting the necessary nutrients needed during pregnancy. From folic acid, to calcium, to vitamin K (and much more).

Prenatal vitamins are both healthy for you and the baby. Continue to take them even after the baby is born.
