Not taking any pre-natal vitamins..

[AlwaysDreamin]

All I'm taking is 400mg of folic acid and 210mg iron tablets that my doctor prescribed.

But I've noticed ladies on here are taking more than I am in the form of pre-natals.

Will I cause any harm by not taking them?? xx

No it won't do any harm, I however take pregnacare and while ttc I was taking conception plus. My gp advised me on Monday that after 10 weeks they are recommending vitamin d too x

I have never taken them. Even my doc says only take vits if you actually are lacking in some stuff and they do a blood test to determine that here for anything.

If your diet already provides great amounts of the needed nutrients and the vitamins you are taking add the extra needed for pregnancy you will be fine.

Im not taking any pre-natal vits just folic acid and vitamin D which my MW has told me to take. They never had them years ago and we've all turned out fine I know loads of ladies not take them and their babies have been fine aslong as you eat a healthy diet everything should be absolutely fine

I taking pregnacare but mainly only because I have hyperemesis so am not getting any nutrients from any food.
Your baby will be just fine taking the folic acid and iron, along with a healthy diet that is all baby needs.
