Well I took folate. The rest I took in the form of whole foods or items like fermented cod liver oil and bone broth. Midwife supported and baby is right on track. On my plan was salmon once a week. I am so sick of eating salmon
You didn't take any prenatal vitamins? Did they upset your stomach?
I have been taking them since before we got pregnant but then took folic for a few weeks in the beginning as I was getting really bad all-day sickness.
I haven't taken prenatal with any of my pregnancies because they upset my stomach and I already deal with hyperemesis. This time around my doctor does have me taking vitamin D, which I can handle.
I took them in the first trimester but haven't taken any since. They upset my stomach, but I knew they were really important during the first trimester so I suffered. Once I got to my second trimester though I asked my doctor and she said it was fine if I stopped, so I did. She told me she didn't take any prenatals past her first trimester either.
