Debra - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) ? this is a pretty tough question. You won't know until baby gets here. You may be anemic if you didn't eat enough iron (meats, spinich etc) or have weak teeth, enamel, bones from a lack of calcium (I had this and I took the vitamins and ate tons of fruit and dairy). I'm surprised your doc didn't at least recommend you take folic acid. The pill is tiny. Or flinstone vitamins which you can chew...

boymom - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have had pregnancies where I was too sick to keep the vitamins down. Like someone else said, your body will get the baby what the baby needs. I ended up anemic 'cuz those vitamins give you the extra iron you need. You could take them until Sunday and maybe get a little more iron in your system, but you will probably be fine.

babyduche - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I didn't take the prenatals vitamins and my daughter came out perfect. Your baby will not have any problems because of those reasons unless you didn't eat or took care of yourself during your pregnancy....good luck!

kbushby - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) your baby will be fine... theres so many women out there that go their whole pregnancy not even knowing they are pregnant!! so imagine all the things they do that you arent supposed to, like drink, smoke, lift "heavy" things, etc.

kater - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) babys tend to take everything they need from mum, so the problem lies with a mother who isnt well, because they are lacking in certain things, because bub has taken it to be healthy. i wouldn't worry, chances are bub is perfect!!

harpchick - 88 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Millions of babies are born every year without benefit of prenatal vitamins. What matters most to your baby's health is that you ate a balanced and healthy diet while pregnant. Prenatal vitamins do a nice job of filling in daily nutrients that you might have missed, or ones that your body particularly needs extra of. If you've eaten well, you'll probably be fine.
