Forgetting prenatals

[mummof1]

Ladies I had this realization today that I have been forgetting to take my vitamin ! I think I took it last Friday? I've been so busy with the kids and work I definitely haven't taken it in 4-5 days!
Does anyone else forget ? I feel so bad!

Yes I've not took mine for about two weeks no joke.

No wonder I've been feeling good lol they make me sick !

I was told i only need to take mine up until 12 weeks for the folic acid. As long as you are eating a balanced diet you should be fine x

I haven't taken my prenatals for a month because they were making me sick. I'm just now trying to take a regular gummy vitamin at night to see how it does.

I take extra strength folic acid.
I hve liver issues too.
My Dr told me not to take multi vitamins
If ur eating alright I don't think it harms anyone xx

I don't take a multivit, only vit d3 and folate. But even then I take it sporadically, because I do feel sick all the time!

I didn't manage to take vits either with my previous babies because of sickness.

I think a decent diet goes a very long way

Interesting ! I always thought it was such a big important thing !
I do eat fairly healthy but I also indulge when I want lol

How much folate do you take? I have some in my prenatal but I was wondering if I can take extra.

I've forgotten many times too! Pregnancy brain!!!

I find they make me sick if I don't eat them with food so I leave the pack on top of the plates then when I get dinner I'm reminded to take them as they're on the plates as I get them out!

I'm sure a few skipped days wont make any difference 😊

I take 800mcg- I ended buying this one as it was slightly cheaper than the 400mcg bottle!
I did a little bit of research and found that anything between 400-900mcg ish is ok. (But that probably does include folate from foods too)
