Now I set a reminder on my phone and take it at the same time every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-126069 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:34:36 +0000 PBandBaseball 126069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them at night, so it's pretty easy to remember during the week. I've only forgotten on a couple weekends because of the change in routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125990 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:00:39 +0000 Alivoo01 125990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty good about taking them in the morning since I take it with my breakfast. I'm usually pretty good about the evening ones, but sometimes I'm too tired/lazy to go back into the kitchen to take them once I crawl into bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125865 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 07:53:31 +0000 mrsjyw 125865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't when I'm at work because I always take it with my breakfast. But, it's hard on the weekends because I try to sleep in and my eating schedule isn't as strict. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125718 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:49:19 +0000 looch 125718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I kept them in the bathroom right next to my toothbrush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125716 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:44:26 +0000 Penny Lane 125716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, yes, and I'm 23 weeks along! I'm sure it will be fine whatever happens. I've known plenty of people who didn't take anything for the whole pregnancy, and they and the babies were all fine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125665 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:46:25 +0000 SAHM0811 125665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keeping them on my nightstand is my trick. It works most of the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125662 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:43:09 +0000 BSB 125662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I had trouble taking them. I moved the bottle to next to my bed, so I take them when I wake up in the morning. I still forget sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125600 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:53:05 +0000 cupcakemama 125600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I struggle to remember mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125464 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:22:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 125464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to forget them about once a week.<br /> Now, at 36 weeks, I don't take them any more. I just got tired of feeling sick from them. I take a regular multi-vitamin and eat a healthy diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125396 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:35:47 +0000 lavender 125396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I take them every night after dinner. I'm better at taking them now then I was prepregnancy and only taking a multivitamin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125394 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:35:04 +0000 mediagirl 125394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put hem on the sink next to my toothbrush. I'll take one after brushing. It's routine now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125388 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:32:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 125388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's weird... I have a really hard time swallowing pills (I have to gag them down without water) but I took them almost every single day when pregnant with Wagon Jr. Now with this pregnancy I have the fruit gummy kind, which obviously are so much easier to take, yet I forget ALL THE TIME! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125387 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:31:52 +0000 SugarplumsMom 125387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a cute pill box that looks like a chocolate bar. I take them before bed. Problem is, it only has 5 days so the weekends are a little tricky - but I've managed to only miss 2 days so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125368 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:19:46 +0000 Weagle 125368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I did that too! Both DH and our friends all make fun of me for it :) </p> <p>I forget to take them, but I'm eating well. I figure things will balance out enough. Your body will give nutrients to the baby over giving them to you anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125296 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:39:34 +0000 LAGS 125296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a pill box too. Once I had to add an iron supplement into the mix, I could never remember if I took a pill let alone which one... my pill box has made it fool proof, I never forget now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125288 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:31:22 +0000 MamaMoose 125288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them before bed so I'm pretty good about remembering since they are right on my night stand. The only time I forget is if I fall asleep on the couch and then stumble to bed. But even then hubs is pretty good about making sure to get the vitamin in me before he lets me fall asleep : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125287 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:30:52 +0000 chopsuey 125287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I was really bad about taking mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125283 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:23:54 +0000 bpcmarj 125283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been absolutely terrible about taking them. They just make me gag no matter what I try. I make sure I am eating well balanced and have never had any tests come back weird (iron, etc). I'm hopeful that it doesn't make that much of a difference, but we'll see I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125282 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:23:48 +0000 tequiero21 125282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to buy a pillbox. Helped a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125281 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:23:07 +0000 MsLipGloss 125281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially on the weekends!</p> <p>@SorryCharlie: I know right?! I am almost 20 weeks pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125280 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:22:39 +0000 regberadaisy 125280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I take them every morning with my breakfast. It's usually the weekends that throws me off sometimes.<br /> I forget to take my second iron pill at night ALL the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125277 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:20:03 +0000 heffalump 125277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them and take my multi's now right before bed. It's on my night stand so I always see them before going to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125276 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:19:26 +0000 sorrycharlie 125276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. and i'm 17 weeks pregnant, lol.</p> <p>my mom didnt see a dr with me until she was 5 months along - so, no vitamins. and i turned out fine ;)</p> <p>i wouldn't stress over forgetting! obviously better to take them, but its human nature to forget sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-hard-time-remembering-to-take-your-prenatals#post-125274 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:18:24 +0000 Arden 125274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting close to starting TTC (JUNE! YAY!), and I've been taking prenatal vitamins for about two months. </p> <p>The problem is, I forget... a lot. It's ridiculous. </p> <p>Do you have a hard time remembering to take your prenatals? </p> <p>Do you have some sort of system to help you remember? </p>
