Prenatal Vitamins
How does it affect the baby if you dont take vitamins every single day? I have pills & some days no matter how many times I try I cant swallow them, I'm really worried I dont want to be harming my baby by not being able to take them :(
I take them every other day too. If I take them daily I get so over-saturated they spill over into my urine.
To second everyone else, as long as you're eating a balanced diet, you and bebeh will be a-ok. People have been making healthy babies since long before the invention of vitamin supplements.

They give you prenatal vitamins in the UK where it's all free so I don't think it's money making scheme, your baby will take all the vitamins and nutrients it needs from your food intake your bodies natural stores, so baby will be ok, but you will go without what you need, it is important to take them, try the gummy ones as suggested
I take my vitamins every other day. I have major trouble going to the bathroom when I take it so the day break will allow me to go. Just don't go a long time without. Anything extra you can give the baby is good.
The vitamins make me dizzy and nauseous have less energy whenbi do take them so i stopped taking them
Look think of it this way they had no prenatal vitamins years and years ago and everyone was having healthy babies!! I've had 3 doctors tell me as long as I'm eating a variety of colours of fruit and veg then I'm getting all the vitamins I need! One of my tutors in college is also a nutrition expert and she has said the same :)
My doctor said they are to help you get the vitamines most people do not get from their food. If you eat healthy you should be fine but you can always ask your doctor for the chewable type
