Patient's question:
I am a knowledgeable woman, and I got married relatively late. Because of my advanced maternal age pregnancy, my friends advised me to take vitamins to prevent fetal malformations. I have never given birth before and don't really understand. Will babies be deformed if I don't take vitamins?Doctor's answer:
No, vitamins are primarily used for prevention. If you don't take vitamins, it's not a problem. Not taking vitamins doesn't necessarily lead to deformities. As long as there are sufficient vitamins in your body, everything is fine. Simply saying that supplements are better than no supplements doesn't mean that children born to women who don't take supplements are deformed. The food and vegetables you eat every day contain vitamins, so don't worry. Pay attention to a balanced diet, and your baby will definitely be born healthy.
