Im Worried... Did I Screw Up????? Posted: 12-11-05 22:56pm
Well im on my second baby boy im 19 and I
had my first at 14 at that time I took my
iron pills and pre natal but I cant
remember if I did as often its been along
time but this time I was sick til 4 months
and the doc only gave me prenatals and I
didnt take them till my 6th month then I
forgot to half the time and sometimes I
miss them some nights I was sick for the
whole time with my first so im wondering
if I did the same also but lucky me my
baby was very healthy so my point is will
my baby be ill and birth defected by my
irresponsibility???? I eat good dont
smoke or drink and get lots of rest I know
that sometimes dosent count but I dont
want my son to be harmed over my bad
judgement I hate those prenatal pills they
still make me feel sick

I'm sure your baby will be fine. If you
eat right then most of the time you don't
need them, some drs just tell you to take
them because it helps with the development
of the spine. But I know lots of women
who didn't take any during their pregnancy
and their babies where born healthy. I
keep forgetting to take mine too and
according to my u/s my baby is healthy so
I wouldn't worry about it if you forget to
take them every once in awhile.
Also if the prenatals make you sick you
can try taking one of those flinstone
vitamins with a folic acid. That might
help.

You might try taking two flinstones with
iron (childrens vitamins) thats what I did
when I was pregnant b/c the others made me
sick.
