Q: 17 years old. Prenatal Vitamins

I am 17 years old. There is a possible chance that I am pregnant. My boyfriend and I had intercourse 3 times, and all times his sperm has gone into me. I was wondering if I could take prenatal vitamins to ensure health for the baby, even if I may not be pregnant. I have not missed my period yet, but I heard that it is good to take them a month before, if you plan on getting pregnant. I just wanted to know if it is ok to take them, If I am not sure I am pregnant yet, and can I quickly stop taking the prenatal vitamins if my pregnancy test turns up negative.
~Thank you~ -Marie-

Yes, You can take prenatal viamins!! They will not hurt you even if you are not pregnant. It sound to me like you want to be pregnant! Babies change everything!!!! It is a huge dession to make because it not only affects you but everyone around you!! Also all the things you want to do in life has to wait because that baby comes first! It is such a big choice to make! Also about the negative test those aren't always right. I will be praying for you!

really??
You can NEVER really be ready for it!!! I was 25 and married when I had my first child and it was a huge change for us!!! Why do you want a baby so young? You have so much time in your life. Why bring a baby into an unstable situation? Just wondering what are you wanting to do with your life? Please just really think this through!!! You are 17 right? If that�s the case! You need to think on who is going to be taking care of the baby when you are at school? How much that is going to cost? You can't always count on your parents!! Who is going to pay for everything for the baby? That�s a lot of money!!! Where are you going to live? All of this is a factor in the baby�s life! Are you going to be able to give this child everything that you want to give it? Also what happens if the father doesn't stay around? All of this you need to think about before bringing a child into your life! Really at your age you should be thinking about what you want to do with your life because after you have a baby it is all about them and no more about you! Trust me I have two kids now and nothing is about me! There are times you can't even take two seconds for yourself. You may think that I don't know what I am talking about but I thought that way too when someone told me that!! Please really truly think about this!!! You don't need to jump into it you have time to think!!! I really hope and pray that you would take what I am saying to heart!!
Thank you,
Sunshine
