My sisters friend lost some of her teeth because she didn't take prenatals and baby was sucking all the calcium out of them. Plus you can get low in iron and many other things. So I would definately take them if I were you. . I take Jamieson prenatal and it's way easier on the tummy then the materna ones.  Or Take the prenatal gummies.

The solid vitamins are very hard on your stomach and much harder to digest. I can't take any reg vit or prenatal bc they make me puke. I think a good one for you to try would be the Nature Made liquid gels multi prenatal plus dha. They are well priced about $20 for a 3 month supply. And if you look up top rsted prenatals they are one the few in the top ten mentioned that aren't organic or vegan. They are ranked like #6 after a bunch of expensive organic kinds.  I LOVE them! They never make me queezy let aLone sick. They are very easy to swallow dont be afraid of how big they look the go strewn very smooth. Doctor agreed with me that they are one of the more recommended and better brands :-) hope that helps ;-)

Same happened to me too. I stopped taking them then went to my appointment and she got mad at me for not taking them. She says you can take any prenatal vitamins as long as they contain folic acid. the label will either say 100mcg or 100% either way thats the correct one.  Im now taking gummies. You should go buy vitafusion prenatal . Its the one im taking. Its so yummy and doesnt make you sick at all.

I stopped taking them too because I was getting sick from them but I started taking the Flintstones gummy vitamins, the regular dose is one a day but since we're pregnant we take two a day. It has all the same vitamins a prenatal has.

Talk to your doctor about them because I was taking some and they would make me throw up so I stopped taking them and she gave me other vitamins that worked out really good for me.

Yes you really should take them because it gives the baby the nutrients that we tend to miss and because of the folic acid in them. Try a different kind

Try other brands. Some work for you better than others. Many people do not take prenatals or stop and have healthy babies, but the point is to give your baby the best you can. You should try your hardest to find a brand that works better for you and continue taking them. Try taking them before bed after a meal. I also hear the gummy ones work with many people.
