Prenatal Vitamins?

The major vitamin you need with these pills is the folic acid.. It prevents birth defects such as spina bifida ( I believe) so if you cant rememeber to take the pills everyday ensure that your eating healthy.. Eat spinach it has folic acid in it.

Women who are pregnant, some dont even take the vitamins but have healthy babies. so your diet is key!

Make it a habit to take them, by taking them with another daily habit. Like if you always eat a snack at a certain time, take it then. Or if you check the mail everyday, do it then. Or leave sticky notes in your bathroom mirror as a reminder.

I have a hard time remembering too. I also cant take them when I wake up cuz I will puke. I have to take them before bed, and what I do is leave the bottle on my nightstand where I can't ignore that it is there, or forget.

Another thing I do is i take a pill out, and put it somewhere I WILL see it, and also put a bottle of water nearby so I cant have any excuse to say "I dont have anything to take it with..I'll do it later"

Hope this helps.

And it is very important to take your prenatals regularly. But missing a few here and there won't hurt baby. Good luck!

No,that will not harm the baby. but make sure you are eating right. I took my vitamins about four weeks than I quit, because they were horse pills. If you want to remember to take them every day put them in the bathroom on the counter or by your tooth brush, put them in your purse, on your night stand, in the kitchen on the counter by the sink. Anywhere that's noticeable.

My last pregnancy i didn't go to the doctor AT ALL. I was so scared to tell anyone i was pregnant, so i hide it the whole time. Thank God, my baby ended up being healthy. My point is prenatal vitamins did nothing for me. And this pregnancy all they do is make me nausea's, so i hardly take them. I wouldn't worry about it to much if i was you.

just make sure you are eating well and take them when you remember. it might help to get a pill box and keep some with you so you can take them when you remember on the go.

You dont need prenatal vitamins if u have a healthy balanced diet. They are over used and over rated, if u eat a balanced diet with lots of fruit and veggies than i wouldnt even bother with them! I have a 9 month old baby girl and i never took them except for a 4 week period where i was so so so sick and was eating nothing!

If you are eating fairly healthy, this won't pose any risk to your baby. Just remember to take them when you can. I always take mine right after I brush my teeth before I go to bed. It's just become a routine.

set them beside your toothbrush or something that you do daily. It will help remember. Vitamins really should be taken since your body is providing nourishment to both of you

to remember to take them, set an alarm on your phone at a certain time in the morning or evening and pretty soon it will become a routine

Keep them next to your toothbrush and put a note on your bathroom mirror.....then take one right before bed :)
