I have had 5 very successful live births
and all of my children are happy, healthy
and very intelligent. I have never taken
a folic acid supplement. Sometimes I
don't even take multivitamins and I have
never taken prenatal vitamins since my
first baby.
If you eat a healthy diet, I don't think
there is anything to worry about. Even
the cold cereal that you buy at the store
is enriched with vitamins and minerals
that they add, it's almost impossible to
become deficient unless you really try.
The human race prospered very well long
before it even knew that there was such a
thing as folic acid.
Of course you can talk to your doctor if
you are worried, but you shouldn't be
worried at all. Don't think that you are
stupid of you can't keep down a synthetic
pill. It happens to everyone. It's best
to get the nutrition you need from food
anyway. Anything that the baby needs, he
is going to take from you and you can
catch up on what you need to when your
stomach calms down.
Chances are, you have already been taking
it without knowing it!! It's already
naturally contained in food: here is a
very handy link to all the foods that
contain folic acid....and just proves that
you're getting it even if you don't think
you are
I'm sure
your baby is bouncin' happy, do don't
worry
