Just found out at 10 weeks

[wtfrock]

I have just found out today that I am 10 weeks pregnant exactly.

I wasn't trying and had absolutely no idea therefor have not been taking any vitamins, could this have harmed the baby?

I know your supposed to take folic acid and that it's important so I'm so worried that there will be something wrong?

I have had a scan which showed a heartbeat but the scan lasted no more than a couple of minutes she just got an estimated size, gave me a due date and away I went.

I will of course start taking vitamins straight away but what possible harm have I done by not taking them for the past 10 weeks?

I'm 24 weeks now and I probably took about a 2 weeks worth of vitamins throughout the first 12 weeks and everything's fine with my baby at the moment.
The vitamins made me feel so sick. Lots of people find out there pregnant at around 2/3 months! So don't worry! X

Lots of people don't take supplements and are just fine.
Just start now if you want...
But honestly don't worry!

Absolutely no harm. Some women choose to not take folic acid or prenatal vitamins throughout pregnancy and have completely healthy babies. It's recommended but not an absolute necessity xx

Such a relief thank you, I was just in such a panic yesterday think I've calmed down a little now 🙂
