Maybe i am panicing because yesterday i did not take my prenatal pill because i was all out and today i cant take them because i just put them in the pharmacy and about time i get off work the pharmacy will be closed so that will be 2 days i missed. will some go wrong if i miss 2 days of my pre-natal vitamins ?
Maybe i am just paranoid. my first concern is the health of my baby and i love him so much and havent even saw his face yet

dont worry, three days wont affect the baby. what will affect the baby more than missing the vitamins would be you getting stressed out about missing the vitamins. lol

Not to worry. I am a mom of two. When I was first pregnant I tried prenatal vitamins but they didn't agree with the baby. So I stopped taking them through the pregnancy. The baby turned out fined. She is now 2 years old. The second pregnancy I forgot to take them. I took them when I remember. The baby now 6 months old turned out fine. But I made sure I tried to eat during both pregnancy. That is all you can do is try. Good Luck. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

prenatal vitamins exist because most moms do not get proper nutrition. So if you eat well, two days without won't be harmful.
Of course, you should still get them ASAP and start taking them again. The main difference between prenatal and regluar vitamins is the amount of folic acid. Folic acid is needed for protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is something that you and the baby are both doing a lot of.
Next time don't ask here. You get unqualified people coming up with answers that are guesses. (I especially liked the one about more allergies occuring in babies whose moms took prenatal vitamins......that's a complete fantasy!)
Good luck!

Nope, it won't hurt. You can take kids Flinstone vitamins instead. No joke :-) They recommend them for women with bad morning sickness who can't take the big honkin pill, so they're safe. You get the vitamins you need from them and it's a good subsitute. You'll be ok, you're just missing out on the same vitamin intake as you do day to day. Some women don't take vitamins at all or until half way into their pregnancy. It's ok to worry, I'm a first time pregnant mommy and 21 too :-) Anxiety comes with the territory, just relax and smile and take a Flinstones vitamin and get your refill when possible, take care! Good luck and congrats!

Don't be scared!!! If you think about it, pre natal vitamins just became a recommended practice for pregnant women in the past decade. What do you think our mommas and grandmas did before then? They let nature take its course, prayed, and ate right. Healthy babies have been born to women who have never used a vitamin in their life and will continue to do so. It's good tro know u are adamant about taking them, but honestly that are not a necessary thing for a healthy baby. It cuts the risk of certain things, but there are women who have taken vitamins, ate right, and done all that good stuff their whole lives and their babies unfortunately are still born with defects and problems. Relax and let nature handle it. its ok that u missed ur pre-nates, just take them when you can and if you miss any, count it on faith that your baby will be fine. God Bless you!!

Don't worry, your little one will be fine. I was known to miss a vitamin or two during my pregnancy. I found myself having some of the most irrational fears when I was pregnant. I made sure that I drank 2 liters of water everyday, one day I was shy by like 8 ozs and I totally freaked out. I was just sure that my son's heart would stop beating because of this. Blame it on the hormones!

No it won't hurt the baby for you to have missed 2 days of prenatals. In the past, they didn't have prenatals and the babies turned out just fine. It is best to start taking them as soon as you can but it won't hurt the baby. Congrats on baby and everything will be just fine

Yes, you're being paranoid, which is totally understandable! :) But don't worry, you and the baby will be fine without two days of prenatal vitamins. Just remember that 100 years ago people were having healthy babies without the things we have today and that your baby is stronger than you think.

I'm 20... 36 weeks pregnant with baby number one, and I have been so careless about my prenatals... they make me feel icky and the dr said that they would rather me not take them and eat, than take them and feel icky... I just take flintstones vitamins. I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks, 17 weeks, 28 weeks, and 32 weeks and the baby is perfect in all the measurements.

I have gone a couple of weeks without mine. Its not a big deal. DOnt worry about it at all. Your little one will be fine :) I have 3 healthy boys and a little girl due any day now and with each one of them Im sure I have forgotten to take my prenatals several times. Nothing to worry about.

Aww that is really sweet. And No, nothing will happen if u miss 2 days. Its better that when u get them, to take them., but consider woman went MANY years without taking them and were just fine. Everything will be ok, and im sure you will make a great mom sweetie
