Somebody please tell me that my baby will be okay. I've had such bad m/s (hyperemesis) and it seems like only now am I able to keep down my food (thank you, Zofran!). There was a 2-week period in there where I was probably intaking minimal nutrients and no vitamins. I'd be lucky if I could have a bowl of cereal and a popsicle!
Anyways, feeling much better now and I'm back to the vitamins... but super worried that during these critical weeks of development, I neglected to give my baby the nutrients he/she needs
Re: I haven't been taking my prenatal vitamins!
You're fine! With DS I didn't realize I was pregnant for a couple months - I ate horribly, no vitamins, etc. He turned out perfectly healthy and has remained wonderful for the past (almost) nine years.
Your body finds what it needs. Now that you're back "on the wagon" you have even less cause for alarm.

Thanks so much for the replies, ladies. I feel much better. I've been really trying not to be paranoid or overreact to things... and I know the baby is just fine, I just needed to hear it from someone else!
Thanks for the prenatal gummie rec. I'll look into those!
Ditto PP, it's totally fine. I had awful m/s with DD and couldn't keep anything, least of all those huge freaking horse pills they call prenatal vitamins down for well into the second trimester and she's perfectly healthy.

The only thing that I reccommend about the gummies is that they do not all contain DHA and iron, so make sure to check for those! I feel like the iron is what makes me sick, so I've been considering switching to something without. GL!
Glad you are feeling better now. =-)

My mom was sick as a dog when she had me in the early 80's- she lost a ton of weight and says she doesn't know how I got any nutrients at all. I came out a healthy 8lbs, 21 inches, a week late. I have never broken a bone, I rarely get sick, and I had no problems in school. I'm sure your baby is managing to take whatever it needs.
no use worrying about the past. just try your best to eat healthy and take your vitamins from this point on.
good luck!
