What happens if you don't take prenatals during pregnancy?

Beta, our diet these days doesn't have all the nutrition that a growing baby needs. Even if you eat green veggies daily, you still need those extra iron and calcium tablets. Don't take any risk during these crucial nine months.

I used to feel very nauseous after taking my prenatal iron tablets, so I almost stopped them. My doctor then changed the brand and told me to take them right after dinner instead of morning. That small change solved the nausea and saved my baby's health.

Let's be realistic, we don't have time to cook perfectly balanced meals three times a day to get all vitamins. Prenatals are like a safety net for busy working moms. Set an alarm on your phone so you never forget your daily dose.

Oh god, please don't stop taking them! I used to search online about birth defects constantly during my pregnancy and it made me so anxious. Just trust your doctor, take your pills on time, and it will keep both you and your little one completely safe.

I agree, skipping prenatals can make you extremely weak and iron-deficient during delivery. It is best to stick to your gynecologist's prescription strictly.
