Should I continue taking prenatal vitamins even though I’m in my 2nd trimester?

Don't stop! It is very important that you take your prenatal vitamins throughout your entire pregnancy. The vitamins are mainly important due to Folic Acid that they contain. It has been scientifically proven that women who do not get enough folic acid when they are pregnant have a MUCH higher chance of having a baby with spina bifida. You need to at least get 400 micrograms of folic acid a day when you're pregnant I personally take blackmores pregnancy and breastfeeding advanced dietary supplements. It's about $25 for 60 capsules. I take 2 capsules daily. It has bout 500 mg of folic acid, 150mg of iodine, and 1000 iu of vtamin D as well as fish oil.

I continued with my prenatal vitamins all the way till I gave birth. Prenatal vitamins have what is required to keep you and baby healthy. Folic acid Helps prevent neural tube birth defects that affects spinal cord and brain. Calcium Helps maintain mummy's home density Iodine Helps maintain mummy's thyroid function Iron Helps blood carry oxygen Among these are also many other vitamins essential for a healthy development. http://www.m.webmd.com/baby/guide/prenatal-vitamins

Yes, like what the rest said, it is highly recommended that you continue with your supplements unless advised to stop by your doctor. You can even continue after you have given birth if you are breastfeeding. You baby will benefit from the higher doses of essential nutrients like folic acid, calcium and iron in your diet. The supplements will also aid in your body's recovery after childbirth. You can speak to your doctor for his/her recommendations.

In the second trimester, baby's organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain develop fully so that their size becomes larger. Babies also can hear sounds and swallow. you can ask your doctor in a health consulting application named Halodoc for sure. the doctors will give you some best advice and information about your health and baby
