yeah, you can bring some one with you. doesn't have to be the baby's daddy. and try getting a pill cutter to cut it in two or more and swallowing them. ask your doctor about the pills.

Ask your doctor about not being able to swallow the pills. They may have something else they can give you. It is ok to see another doctor. Since they are in the same building I would say they work together and whatever the one doctor comes up with will be put in your record so the other doctor can view it. Yes you can bring your baby's father. I brought my mom and they never had a problem with it.

ok if you don't take your prenatal vitamins it's gonna hurt you. The baby will get everything it needs from you...it will take whatever it needs to be ok. You need to take them for you so the baby doesn't drain you of everything. Try breaking them in half and them swallowing them. Ask your Dr. about what else you could take since have trouble swallowing large pills. You should be ok seeing another Dr. If you're not comfortable with that cancel your appointment and reschedule for a day that you're Dr. will be in the office. You can take the father of your baby to all of your appointments, that's not a problem either. Hope everything goes well...

I would ask your doctor if there is another brand that is easier to swallow. It is very important that you take them it ensures that your baby gets the proper nutrition. The baby's daddy should be able to attend any of your appointments.

you can always take something like Flinstones chewables. Thats what I did and I have 3 kids. The regualr prenatals made me throw up more than regular sickness, also they can prescribe you a chewable. if the dr. you want to see is a partner of you ob. then u should be able to see tha dr. no problem. if not just wait. it will be ok as long as you arent having any serious problems. and yes it would be great to have your partner with you. very nice he wants to go, some men dont do that. mine went to almost all appts. with all the kids. good luck.

You really need to find a way to take folic acid, as it prevents birth defects. Ask your doctor for a recommendation. I'm not sure what you're asking about going to another doctor, but it should be fine. And yes, you can bring the father, although it will probably be pretty boring for him.

The prenatals are important... Cut them in half and take it that way.... I am unaware of chewable ones... You are going to have to see your orignial doctor, or the nurse... If it's your first appointment it will be like an annual gyno visit... They may also do an ultrasound to determine how far along you are... You can take the father if you like.

i would keep seeing the same doctor. it;s easyier for you in the long run. because they will know everything about you! and also i think having the same doctor makes it easyier to talk to them. And yes you can bring the dad if you want. I would try and take you vitamins, my friend didnt take her vitamins and she got really sick because the baby took all of her iron away from her. And she ended up in the hospital. i would take them for you and for your babies health. Try breaking them in half and taking two halfs if it's hard for you to swallow them!

you could cut the pill in half, you can also buy prenatal vitamins at the store which are somewhat smaller but if nothing else buy folic acid pills which are tiny they are very important

OK, WHEN YOU DON'T TAKE THE PILLS, YOUR BABY LACKS NUTRITION THAT YOU CAN'T GIVE HER. YES, SEE THE OTHER DOCTOR, MORE THAN LIKELY IT'S THE DOCTOR'S SUB. ALSO, YES YOU CAN TAKE YOUR "BABY DADDY" WITH YOU TO THAT APPOINTMENT AND TO EVERY OTHER ONE YOU GO TO.
