Thread: 13 weeks, no prenatal vitamins

I am 13 weeks pregnant now and the doctor has not yet prescribed any prenatal vitamins to me except folic acid. I asked her for a prescription but she said it is enough to start from 14 weeks. I am very afraid about the health of my baby. Is it ok to be not under prenatal supplements until 14 weeks? please help

Again congrats, no it won't harm your baby. when i was pregnant with my son, i didn't take them all. i just made sure that i ate healthy and exercised regularly. my son is now 3 he is in the 90%tile for his age, 70% for is weight and know more and speaks better than most 5-6 year olds. i know that times have changed, but think about years ago they didn't have things like this and babies still come out healthly. but if you are really concerend and it bothers you, you can go to any local drug store or wal-mart etc and they sell prenatal vitamins on the self with out of scripe. hope all goes well
