forgot to take my prenatal last night..
well..forgot to pick up my refill  I feel like a bad mommy to be. That is so unlike me.
So, I usually take it around 11pm every night - I obv skipped it last night - I am going to go pick them up now. Is it better to take one this morning or just wait til my next dose tonight?

Re: forgot to take my prenatal last night..
I didn't take mine on purpose...I was so nauseous last night, I just couldn't. I knew I would be gagging for hours if I had.

I didn't take mine at all. My DS is perfectly healthy.
The prenatal is for you, the baby takes everything from you first and the prenatal helps you out.

Re: forgot to take my prenatal last night..
I've forgotten a few times...I've never really worried about it. I don't think a day here or there is going to make much of a difference.

Re: forgot to take my prenatal last night..
I would just wait until the next dose. Taking them too close together can cause some unpleasant side effects for your stomach.
You're not a bad mommy for forgetting one day. I am awful at remembering to take pills daily & I feel so guilty for the amount of times I've forgotten Plus, I really couldn't take them in my first trimester. I threw them up within minutes & I eventually had to stop for a while.

same here. And actually, if DH didn't remind me all the time, i would probably forget even more times than i already have.

Re: forgot to take my prenatal last night..
I only fill my script of a month supply of prenatal's 4 times with DS. No matter what I did I couldn't remember to take them. With DD I was better but not by much.

Re: forgot to take my prenatal last night..
With this pregnancy I take them less than the times I do take them. I was so sick in the beginning that I just couldn't take them. Now it's a trerrible habit. I would just wait until your next normal dose.

same here and I agree with who the prenatal is for, even though many people think it is specifically for the baby.
I did take extra folic acid only in the beginning.

Re: forgot to take my prenatal last night..
I freaked out when I forgot as well.
My doctor told me that the prenatal is for me and that the baby is going to get whatever they need (i.e...take calcium from my teeth) and the prenatal would supplement for me.
His exact words: Your teeth might start to rot but the baby will get what the need.
Made me feel better!
