yes you  have to take them, if you dont nothing necessarily happens to your baby ...as in, they start taking all your calcium iron and everything else from your body and if youre not replenishing it for yourself youll be very weak and probably become anemic or something like that. If you dont take them at all theres only so much they can take from you and thats not good either...  folic acid is importand for brain development, calcium for strong bones, iorn for their blood supply, it all around helps and all of this ia found in a prenatal pill... if you feel sick try eating the prenatal gummies, i heard those are good. I take my prenatal and an extra calcium at night before i go to sleep so i dont feel the effects incase it were to make me feel sick

I dont take them. The doctor I had with my first two kids was really big about trying to get me to take them but the doctor I have with this pregnancy said that theyre only really essential during the first trimester and then jts not as big of a deal if you dont take them. Im anemic but ive been that way since I was 14 so its not because im pregnant and its not because I dont take my pills

I didn't take mine too often, the only thing that happened was that I ended up Anemic, but I got prescribed Iron pills and now I'm doing better.
