Prenatals are very important even if it seems like they are not. They make sure your body has enough nutrients to support you while you are supporting your baby. Your baby could be born very healthy but that's because it took all the nutrients to grow from your body. Therefore you need to replace those vitamins daily to make sure your healthy and your body is getting what it needs.

Prenatals pretty much guarantee that the baby is receiving all necessary nutrients that food isn't providing because most likely we're not intaking the proper amount of fruit, veggies, & nutrients daily. Some people will say "my baby was fine" but every baby is different & why not give him/her the best start possible.

Guilty... I stopped after the first trimester with my daughter and told myself this time I would take it daily. . Still stopped after the first trimester I just forgot truthfully I think it was easier during the first trimester because I was so excited but after that im like okay I just want my baby now lol and I just start going about my long wait.. anywho she was perfect and he is perfect as well so far. U should take it but reality not everyone does all the time.. make sure you eat a balanced diet:) the first trimester is most important though

You should really be taking them they help your body cope with the pregnancy so it doesnt loose to many of the nutrients and such. Ive forgotten for a few days at a time but thats max and I always feel awful when I forget them.

You can be fine without them its just recommended to have them
