ACCEPTED

Yes it can be more harmful if you do not go, you need to be seen for an ultrasoundf and examinations to make sure that there are no underlying problems and that the baby is thriving. Also you do need to be taking prenatal vitamins which help to strengthen yourself and the baby as the baby is taking alot of your daily intake right now. I would highly recommend that you be seen by a OB/GYN for regular visits. Even if you have to go to your local health department that offers free visits for you if you qualify you need these visits as these are very important to you and your unborn children.
