Hardly ever miss a dose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1769511 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 20:30:52 +0000 travellingbee 1769511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I've been taking the gummies for 2.5 years now- 6 months before I got pregnant, 9 months of pregnancy, a year of breast feeding, and now ttc again :) I like the gummies so I always take them happily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1760020 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 12:12:20 +0000 HolisticMama 1760020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Mine have probiotics and ginger in them. So I miss them when I don't take them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1758729 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 21:53:23 +0000 winniebee 1758729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I was good about it and still am. I leave them by my toothbrush and take them before bed every night. I find if I take at the same time it's easier to remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1758706 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 21:33:13 +0000 californiadreams 1758706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I also have other meds I take so it's become a habit for years. I actually have one of those old lady pill boxes and I fill it once a week, so if I forget one in the morning, I see that the box is full so I can remember later in the day. I also use to argh my phone alarm as a reminder </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1758704 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 21:28:48 +0000 Boogs 1758704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm horrible about it, and I take the gummy kind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1758667 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 21:03:01 +0000 sandy 1758667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so good about them before LO and during the entire pregnancy and while nursing. Then I just stopped taking them and it was hard to get back in the habit when TTC for #2. I have definitely forgotten a few times here and there which makes me feel so guilty. When I finish this bottle (and my next bottle) I am definitely switching to gummies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1758650 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 20:54:06 +0000 SarahL1234 1758650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not so good at taking them unless I set an alarm on my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719394 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:01:47 +0000 bushelandapeck 1719394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty good. I miss a day here and there but overall I'm consistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719388 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:57:27 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1719388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I've taken one every day since I got pregnant with LO #1, all the way through nursing and I never stopped because I knew I was going to be ttc within a few months after I weaned. So it's been 2+ years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719296 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 16:55:07 +0000 QBbride 1719296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I was never good at taking them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719280 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 16:42:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 1719280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I do gummies every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719260 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 16:30:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 1719260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, I just took one when I saw this title. I keep them on my desk to remind me to take every day, but try are blending into my desk!</p> <p>I should keep them in a more prominent location. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719196 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 15:53:30 +0000 teamjse 1719196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought some, but I'm awful at taking them. I need to be more diligent about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719103 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 15:01:38 +0000 Boheme 1719103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am since I switched to gummies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719078 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:54:33 +0000 coopsmama 1719078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them for the first 25 weeks of pregnancy, and then I switch to an herbal supplement in a strong tea form + calcium pills. I actually do better about remembering once I make the switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719023 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:27:23 +0000 MrsBrewer 1719023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually really good at remembering. I'm also on some others meds for TTC, so it helps that have to remember to take all of them! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1719017 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:25:37 +0000 snowjewelz 1719017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You just reminded me to take mine. </p> <p>During the week I am usually pretty good since work is routine. But on weekends or whenever I'm not at work, the bottle is right next to my bed but I'd forget! I always apologize to my baby when I realize I didn't take it haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718926 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:01:02 +0000 charmed 1718926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, every morning! I took a regular multivitamin + other supplements before TTC, so I was already in the habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718898 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:53:22 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1718898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I have an old lady pill box on the kitchen table so I remember my pills at each meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718876 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:48:01 +0000 jape14 1718876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bakerbee: Same here! I no longer use the birth control alarm on my phone (ha), but I still take it at the same time every day, when I used to take the mini-pill (before bed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718870 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:45:46 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1718870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try - DH and I always took a multivitamin, so I just replaced mine with a prenatal. We'll try to remind each other at dinner time to take our vitamins with food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718862 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:43:03 +0000 namaste 1718862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I was never on the pill so I've never had to remind myself to take something every day. I've gotten better lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718801 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:26:47 +0000 Starfish 1718801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - but probably only because I buy the gummies (much easier to take, just pop them in your mouth, no water needed) and I leave them right next to the coffee maker....hard to miss them there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718618 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:39:29 +0000 pl0508 1718618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Stacy: I ran out after I weaned and have been using the rest of my regular multivitamin but I am thinking I will buy prenatal when I run out and use them until I'm done with having children too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718609 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:37:25 +0000 Canoli 1718609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: I do this too.<br /> I started before I got pregnant with #1 and will keep taking them until I'm done having children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718565 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:26:58 +0000 Happygal 1718565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty good. I got a relaxed about it as TTC dragged on, but I'm better about it now. I take them at night, so they're right next to my toothbrush and it's part of the routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718554 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:22:09 +0000 dolphin 1718554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I JUST started taking gummies again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718543 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:18:37 +0000 raspberries 1718543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Erg, no, I'm not good at remembering. I even got the gummy ones so I'd look forward to taking them and I still forget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-about-taking-prenatal-vitamins#post-1718539 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:15:23 +0000 googly-eyes 1718539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped because I was taking a bunch of prescription meds for awhile and didn't want to add something that could make me nauseous. Just started again last night, and I think I'll be pretty good about it! I was when I was pregnant. </p>
