The reason to take prenatal vitamins is to be sure that you are getting everything you and your baby need in order for s/he to develop properly. It increases the chances of healthy development, but of course, at the end of the day, sometimes development issues happen whether vitamins were taken or not. In addition, if you don't take them, it doesn't mean you will have an unhealthy or underdeveloped baby. Throughout history, women have given birth to healthy baby and never had access to prenatal vitamins. It's a matter of knowing what we now know and trying to do the best we can to ensure good, healthy outcomes.
