yeah i was also not taking folic acid (before getting pregnant)n was not ttc as i conceived the very first night…it was unplanned pregnancy…
but i was eating healthy before n throught out my pregnancy…my iron levels as well as vitamin needs foe my body were perfect but still doctor prescribed for vitamins and iron as baby consumes them too from us…

@tranquil

^ Thank you for saying that. I was having misgivings about taking my vitamins after reading a few posts. gonna make sure i take mine every night (i sometimes forget ).

Agreed that the baby consumes them from us. It is more a problem for US if we don’t take them. For example baby will draw Calcium from our BONES if we don’t have it in our system, so basically MOMS suffer any lack of vitamins.

But it is ALWAYS better to get this stuff in diet rather than supplement form. We all come from good financial backgrounds which can afford good diets, I just bank a lot on the diet. For instance, I have kelloggs cornflakes and if you read that packet, it is packed with vitamins and minerals. I will have skimmed milk. etc etc
