Prenatals...

Do you ladies ever forget to take your prenatals? Oh man I am so notorious for this. I'll take them a few days and then forget and then maybe a week later it's like "Omg, I forgot to take them for 5 days already" I really try to stick to a routine but sometimes I fall asleep too early or after working doubles I just forget  I mean, how bad is it really to forget to take them, let's say, your entire pregnancy? I really should set an alarm on my phone to remind myself

I never remembered
I honestly took 1 bottle of prenatals my whole pregnancy

honestly i hardly took them with any of my 4 pregnancies... I started with my first, doing what I was supposed to, but they made me throw up. I started taking them at night, like my dr said, and I still threw them up.. I gave up. because of that, with my second I was prescribed chewables.. worked for a whole, but I eventually forgot and stopped taking them. I don't think I took them at all with my last 2...

I believe the baby will get what it needs but it just pulls it away from your body.. I have mine sitting on my night stand so I see them and take them before I go to bed. You really should take them even if you have to set an alarm.. getting enough nutrients such as folic acid can help prevent birth defects

My first pregnancy no I took them every day this pregnancy I have tried over 7 brands and I always vomit them up after taking them so I hvan't taken any for most of my pregnancy doctor just told me to make sure to eat a balanced diet to get what I would be lacking from the vitamins

Depends......... I took them all the time in the beginning then completely stopped taking them up until a few weeks ago. and haven't taken them in about 2 weeks........ this is why birth control fails me too lol.

yeah I hate pills... I wore the patch because I would screw it up otherwise.. I set an alarm for my other meds everyday.. sometimes I take them lol

I ALWAYS forget to take them...Right now I have been taking my kids Gummy Vites every few days. And to be honest, with my 2nd and 3rd child, I never took prenatals because I was so sick the entire pregnancies and they made me throw up.

I have to keep them next to a cup that's next to my toothbrush. I STILL brush my teeth and forget to take them sometimes... But keeping them there has helped me remember.

I've been forgetting to take mine a lot lately. If I don't eat when I take mine, I end up throwing up, so I usually end up forgetting to take it when I eat, and then I'll remember when I'm not hungry or something. I probably only end up taking mine like 3 or 4 times a week.

I took mine the first two weeks and I havent taken them sense. Im 34 weeks

I forget them sometimes *blush* but i try not to as much as possible.

with my first daughter I took them for 2 weeks nd kept throwing up nd tried Flintstones vitamins nd was still sick then completely stopped nd she came out fine with my second daughter I bought target brand nd tookthem everyday at night they didn't make me sick but I had really bad morning sickness during the day nd this pregnancy I take the target brand again with no problem.....maybe a store brand might be better for you

i thought i was the only one!!!! lol glad to know im not. i do the same thing i will take them for a few days and then ill forget for like 4 or 5 days and im like Smurf. i feel so bad because i should be more responsible... i just know i could never take bc pills

I haven't taken then this pregnancy at all cause i gave up on remembering
