I used to set an alarm before bed to remind myself to take them. Now that I've been taking them every night for nearly two years I guess it's just ingrained, ha.
ETA: It also helps, I think, that I put them right on my nightstand table, so it's one of the last things I see before I go to sleep.

This is totally TMI--but I usually realize I've forgotten to take it when my urine isn't neon green.

I had to buy one of those pill cases that old people use. It definitely helped!

I take it every night before bed....I leave them next to my face wash stuff on the counter so I'll see them.
I used to take BC every night before bed bc sometimes it would make me a little nauseated. I would always forget, usually after having my wine each night, and I've found it's much easier now to remember to take stuff before bed when you're sober all the time!!

DH was my pill manager, if he didn't remember for me, I wouldn't take them.

My husband is a dear and brings it to me every morning with a bottled water. I had dehydration issues early in pregnancy and DH is a very early riser, so he made it his habit to bring these items to me every morning.

I have them on my nightstand and just remember it as I am physically getting in the bed.

I take them every night before bed as well. This was when I used to take my BCP, so it's just habit now to take my meds before bed.

when I remember, it's before bed. I'm really, really bad with them. but she's growing just fine, so I'm cutting myself some slack!
(plus - my mom said she didn't take any prenatals with me until 5 months, and I'm just fine )

confession. I barely took prenatals pregnant with sienna. Even now. I forget.

I just take them right before bed. They are always in a really obvious spot so I can't miss them.

I put them next to my deodorant so every morning I take them before putting it on!

I take them after I eat my breakfast and while I eat dinner.
@mrsjazz: I take Rainbow Light Complete and mine's a bright yellow! I'll have to check later to see if it's maybe neon green instead. Ha!

I usually remember to take them when I'm cleaning up after dinner. They're in the pantry and so is the trash can.

I take them with breakfast so I just leave the box out at my place at the table. My pee used to be bright neon yellow but my dr. switched me to Vitafol-one because she said the ones I used to take had too much vitamin A. Sometimes it makes me worry that these aren't as good because I don't have the neon pee! I try to take a fish oil every night with dinner but I forget a lot because I keep those in the freezer.

I put them on my night stand to take before bed so I don't forget. This doesn't work well if I pass out on the couch for the night but that hasn't happened too many times b/c I want to take my vitamin.

I leave them next to my bed with a water bottle always there. I take them before I go to sleep.

I have one of the weekly pill cases that I carry in my purse. I usually take them shortly after I eat breakfast but if I forget I have them with me to take when I remember. This pregnancy I have a co-worker who is notorious for forgetting to take her allergy medicine so when I hear her come into the office I ask her if she took her meds and that helps me remember to check that I've taken my vitamins.

Moved them to my dresser and take them when I put on my rings for the day!

I had to get a pill box because I took too many to remember. Two prenatals, two calcium, and an DHA vitamin which all had to be taken separately.

I usually take it right after dinner so I don't forget. Sometimes I still forget b/c I get side tracked a lot these days with two kids.
