missed prenatal vitamin

I found some super yummy gummy prenatals so I can never forget to take them.. It's the first thing I think of when I am getting ready in the morning like a kid in a candy store and normally I dont even like candy!

But you're right if you forget or dont know if you took them just skip it :)

I love the gummy ones too! I still forget tho.
 
I've had one since having my 1st gallbladder attack 3 weeks ago! I can't keep anything down and as soon as they hit my mouth I'm vomiting. It's so awful and very worried for my bub as in getting next to no nutrition. I see an OB on Tuesday as well as a specialist so hopefully I can get some answers.
But missing one here and there is ok.
 
I stopped taking mine because they were giving me terrible headaches, and when I say headaches I mean a thumping head, light sensitivity the lot, so just keep your eye on them.
I found that the day i didnt take them, I didnt get a headache so stopped them and havent had one since.
I figured that when I was having my 1st baby I wasnt told to take anything other than folic acid for the first 3 months so it cant be too bad that you dont have them.
I also figured that Im sure it would be better for mum and baby if a mum feels healthy and happy rather than to feel terrible, completely drained and have a bad head all the time.

Wow I felt the same I would get intense headaches when I took my vitamins now that I stopped I feel great.
 
I don't take them, I took them in first tri but I just keep my diet healthy everything's going well and did with my son. I wouldn't worry about missing one x
 
I forget once in a while, it's not a big deal. Just take it the next day.
 
I stop taking them after the 20 week scan. . Just keep diet healthy as possible. .
 
Yes don't worry, I took pregnacare right the way through with DS, this time I religiously took folic acid up until 12 weeks, and now just take a pre-natal when I remember!
 
I didn't take any with dd, apart from folic. This time I only started taking some as there was a free lot in the bounty pack, then I bought some. When they ran out I did't take any for a few weeks. My mw said I should take them as my haemoglobin was low. I get the seven seas one, in purple pack, as it has the days of the week on it, so I can see if I missed a day. If I do, I just take one the next day.
 
I would keep taking them through pregnancy---my sister stopped for the reason many women do, because she thought the baby doesnt need it anymore. what she forgot is that SHE still was growing a HUMAN inside and needed the added vitamins. she wound up being severely anemic and had to get 2 bags of blood after natural childbirth. you need the vitamins, ladies, because the baby will take everything it needs from you and suck you dry lol.

I am 21 weeks and had a 3 month supply of prenatals when I was about 5 weeks---I am ashamed to say, I am only about 2/3 of the way through the bottle. Its bad, i know...but first trimester they made me so sick and I would just throw them right up immediately after swallowing so I skipped a lot of days. Second trimester I often forget..sometimes a week will go by. But I asked my dr and she said its fine, just make sure to try and take them regularly.
