prenatal

I'm 17 weeks haven't been taking any pills. Should I be worried?  And do you know any good prenatals? That's not so hard to swallow.

The folic acid is for the baby. It prevents spina bifida. The calcium is for the baby's bones. Vitafusion chews taste like candy and cost $13 for a 45 day supply.

Long ago when there was no such thing as prenatals women had healthy babies. The baby will most likely be okay if you opt out of them, but you will most likely being the one missing out because the baby will take what they need from you and leave you with nothing (this could lead to more fatigue or an even lower immune system).
I take the vitafusion gummies and haven't had any problems.

There are lots of chewable and gummy kinds. The real risk is to yourself. Baby will take what nutrients it needs from you and leave you low and depleated. This is why some women loose teeth and break bones. A healthy diet will help.
