PRENATAL VITAMINS

I KNOW THERE WAS ALREADY A TOPIC ON THIS BUT I CANNOT FIND IT. I ALWAYS FORGET TO TAKE MY VITAMIN. I AM 24 WEEKS AND AT 20 WEEKS THE BABY WAS NOT EVEN A POUND YET. THEY SAID SHE WAS EXACTLY WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUT WITH MY SON HE WAS HUGE SO I GET NERVOUS. DOES NOT TAKING MY VITAMIN AFFECT THE BABY'S WEIGHT THAT MUCH.

SORRY JUST THINKING WAY TOO MUCH I THINK

Caps off, please, for the love of God.

Then just take your vitamins...??

Leave them on the bathroom counter and take them when you brush your teeth...

When posting on here why not read the rules first... That would be against the rules if you took the time to read them... Its hard to read.

Vitamins are important, take them!  

i dont think so i took them with my daughter and not my son and he was almost 9 lbs so i really dont think so and with this one i take them half the time. i mean try to take them daily but as long as you eatseveral times a day and arent doin nothin u shouldnt be doin u will be ok.

I think obsessive is far from the correct word. More like dealing with a headache. A little sensitivity and following the rules is not going to hurt you.

I leave mine on the coffee table so whenever I'm on the computer or watching tv they're right there in front of me.

I also put sticky notes around the house... pregnancy really screws with you!

Thanks for the answers....

I'm not really sure about it affecting the baby's weight.... but you still need those extra nutrients/vitamins. I keep them on my bedside table and take them every night before bed... not to late to get back on track!

Your prenatal vitamins are extremely important and have nothing to do with eating several times a day...
Unless you drink a crap load of milk and eat a head of broccoli a day, chances are you're not getting enough calcium/folic acid, and that's just an easy example...

I forget to take my pill all the time. I told my doctor, and he urges me to take it, but don't get to discouraged. Just think, they didn't have prenatals untill the last 100 years or so, and women had healthy babies without them :-)

well from my previous 2 kids and talking with my dr yesterday i think that u should but some people cant take them at all they get sick from them so, like i said my son was almost 9lbs and i didnt take any with him my daughteri took them wit and she was 6lbs 15oz. and i have never drank milk and still dont as long as you eat well u will b okay. i found with talking them they make u tired and me sick so i chose to take them a few times a week and at bed time. but dont stresss your self out cuz u didnt take a vitamin today just try to remember the next day or take it when u remember.
