Is it normal to cramp like af is coming
when you are at 13wks and my next drs isnt
until the 23rd of aug. I work 8-5 mond
through fri and I have two boys so I am
constantly going I called the nurse and
she just said if im bleeding that there
isnt much they can do so just to drink a
lot of water, I dont take vits cuz they
make me too sick to work. Ive tried a
couple diffrent kind, I take flinstone
vits every once in a while. When I
remember. I feel like I cant remember
anything. I wish there was a job I could
do at home so I wouldnt have to work and
I could be there with them boys. Plus I
spend about 20.0 aday on food. I eat
all the time. I was 113 when I started
and now im 128lbs. Anyway so is this
normal to cramp? Could it mean something
is wrong. And not taking vits is this
dangerous?

The cramping could be caused by your
uterus stretching. I've always had some
light cramps during my whole pregnancy.
(i'm 34w3d)
but it's not necessarily dangerous to not
take vitamins, but it's a very good idea
to take them. The baby is kinda like a
parasite, and taking all of your
nutrients...The vitamins help sustain you
and the baby.
There are 2 things to try with the
prenatals.
1. Try taking right before bedtime,
because if they do upset your stomach,
you'll be sleeping, and you won't
notice.
2. Take the pill with a glass of milk.
The milk will coat your stomach, and
should make you feel better. And always
eat a snack or small meal with your
vitamin (if you take it during the day)
hope that helps ya!

Vitamins are good for the development of
the baby most importantly in the 1st
trimester. My Dr. Told me to quit
them because of the same reason as you.
And to start over in the 2nd but for
myself. He told me I will need the iron
in case of loss of blood and other
complications. It isnt dangerous not to
take them ..I know many many women who
never took them and had healthy
pregnancies and babies. Cramps are
normal during your entire pregnancy.
Oh and I never did end up taking prenatal
vitamins ..I am now taking flinstone with
added iron and my Dr. Says they work just
fine...And taste much better !!
