Is it really necessary to take multivit, calcium and fish oil? If necessity, must take daily?

I have a friend who didn’t take anything during all 3 of her pregnancies. She said sometimes she would forget and eventually not take anything at all and her kids are as healthy as a horse. She also skipped her doc appts. There are people who are less privileged, and they would save as much as possible to prepare for after birth rather than before birth. Personally, I wouldn’t take the risk because every pregnancy is different. Our growing fetus needs the vitamins that we can’t produce in our body or the vitamins in food that we take in is not sufficient for the health of our growing fetus. First trimesters are especially crucial so please take folic acid at least. Some would start feeling nauseated after taking multi vitamins so it’s best to speak to your doc of your concerns and ask for alternatives instead ok? Take care and hope you’ll have a smooth pregnancy!
