You and the baby will do just fine if you cannot take your vitamins for a few weeks. It is better to skip them than to be sick because of them. Try to eat as well balanced a diet as possible. Extra folate, calcium and iron (if you are anemic) are probably all you really need anyway -- assuming your diet contains lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains.

Sorry, but personal e-mails will not be answered, due to time constraits and the desire to spend as much free time as possible with my husband and baby daughter
