Well the first question would be why
haven't you taken your prenantals in so
long? And when you did stop taking them
you should have consulted your doctor
first. It's really hard to get all the
nutrients your baby needs to grow by just
eating food, but if you eat healthy and
enough foods from all the food groups so
you can get all the nutrients and vitamins
you and your baby need, then not taking
your prenatals shouldn't be that big of a
risk. But my advice is to consult with
your doctor. Good luck :)

I have been out of town longer than I
planned and my supply of prenatels has run
out, I do plan to take them as soon as I
return, I just wanted to know if my little
guy is being hurt by my not taking them in
so long. I normally take then regularly.

I dont know if its hurt him. But if your
going to be out of town much longer, they
have ones you can buy at walmart. Thats
where I got mine. My doctor didnt even
give me any, cause I was already taking
them. So you can get them at a store if
your ever in need.

Yes you need to be taking a vitamin! Not
any special brand just a good womans
health multi-vitamin and a folic acid
supplement. We are 2 months preganant now
and my wife isnt getting the regular
prenatal because it has a tendancy to make
her sick. As long as she has her womans
"one-a-day" and an extra folic acid, she
is doing great as well as the baby.
It is almost impossible to eat enough food
in quantity and variety to feed you
growing child and the last month of cook
time is very imporant to how your child is
going to be when he/she comes out. Sick
or healthy, you are the only way that
child can get thier food and oxygen.
