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.
