How long did you take your prenatal vitamins for?

I took folate and iodine until last week and will start on iron this week (cant swallos the horse pills)whenever I remember but I'm pretty slack and don't have a great diet with ms but was same last time and ds was perfectly healthy

If you have a good diet, you shouldn't need any vitamins. They are supplements and only meant to be used if you are deficient. I think the vitamin companies have done a wonderful job in convincing all of us poor guilt-stricken mums-to-be that the world will end if we don't purchase (and use) their product. Having said that, I have only recently formed this opinion, and I took mine most days when I was pg.

I was good until about 9/10 weeks, now I just keep forgetting

I took folate and Iron every day for my entire pregnancy.

Thanks for your feedback girls. I think there is some truth to the vitamin companies making us feel guilty. I suppose it was more important when I couldn't keep food down because of morning sickness but now shouldn't be an issue if I am not taking it everyday. Thanks again for all of your responses.
