So I had dinner with my other pregnant friend. She is about a month farther along then I am. I whip out my vitamins and take them. So I asked her when she takes her's just because I was curious. She said she doesn't. She thinks if she eats healthy everything will be a-o-k. She said everything has been great at her appointments so why should she worry. Is this like super bad and should I have slapped her?

Re: Prenatal vitamins...
Ummm why would she not take vitamins on purpose? Most of the stuff you get from your vitamin are not things you typically get enough of by just eating healthy!!! You should tell her that!! Your body needs a lot more vitamins than pre-preggo and her "healthy diet" isn't enough to compensate for it....
wow seriously people amaze me.............i wonder if her doc knows what she's up to
It's something that's so easy and affordable (I pay $18 for 90 days) I don't understand why someone would intentionally not take them but people do all kinds of crazy stuff...
I had a conversation about this with a co-worker recently and she told me that she did not take prenatal vitamins for 3 of her 4 pregnancies. Her reason? Because with the first pregnancy she did take them and also gained 100 lbs and thinks that the prenatals were what caused the weight gain.
Yea, I couldn't beleive she actually said that out loud.
Just FYI, if you have a Meijer in your area, they offer free generic prenatals! All you have to have is a script from your doc for generic prenatals. I have been taking Trinate for almost a year now and never paid a dime for it!
