Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Prenatal vitamins are prescribed for ensuring that brain defects do not occur in the baby. Taking them does not cause any harm to the mother as they are also useful for the normal metabolism of human body systems. If you take them there is no harm and it will be helpful if you ultimately decide to continue with the pregnancy. You can stop them after the abortion.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for using HCM.
