I am struggling to eat enough so for me they are important, although at this stage of pregnancy I am finding I forget whether I have taken them or not!
its better to take them..especially if your not monitoring your diet! Folate is best in the first 6 weeks of pregnancy..BUT it also helps with the function of the placenta. And also, if your not taking vitamins..the baby will take them away from your body...which might not seem like a big deal but when you think of what that can mean for your body 10 years from now, you should probably take them! really they are not that expensive and it takes like 20 seconds to take them.
I agree with the others that its a personal thing, and a one financial sometimes.
I didnt use anything with #1 DD and had no probs but with #2 DS i started on Elevit before conceiveing which they recommend with that particular vitamin. And the one thing that i did notice after birth was that i didnt feel so flat. With DD (1) i had to go onto iron tabs because i became really anaemic but after DS i felt fine. Im sure its because of the vitamins. Im still on them now and will be till i finish Breastfeeding, but again thats what is recommended with those vitamins.
They are expensive but i think there worth it. Its all up to you though.
