Remembering Vitamins

shoefreak85 · May 2011

How do you remember to take your prenatal vitamins? I began taking it with my breakfast, but my nausea was so terrible that I was afraid I would just throw it back up. I'll remember the vitamins while I'm teaching or something else where I can't swallow a horse pill. Tell me all of the tricks!!

I keep mine in the bathroom, so when I go brush my teeth before bed I see them and remember to take them.

I take mine before bed, so I keep them right on my nightstand. When I set my alarm, I pop one.

I take mine every night immediately before bed. It's become a routine for me. I have done this with vitamins for years and it's the only way I can consistently remember to take them and don't puke them up.

I also take mine before bed, so it is part of my before bed routine.

This. I leave them on the counter next to the toothpaste.

I have one of those M-F pill boxes that I leave in the kitchen and take my vitamins with dinner

Ditto with all the ladies who take them before bed when they brush their teeth. ( I also keep a small container of them in my purse just in case I remember the next day at work that I forgot to take it the previous day, so I can swallow it ASAP).

This. I kept forgetting to take them in the morning because my routine gets so rushed (I love my snooze button) But I bring a bottle of water upstairs with me every night and the PNVs are right next to the bed.

I keep mine next to my bedstand. I get nauseated when I take it in the morning. Sad

I take mine in the morning. I have an alarm set on my phone that goes off every day to remind me because I would forget otherwise.

They are in the kitchen next to the B-6, which I always remember because I'm so nauseous

This for me too.

I have a M-F pill box that lives on the breakfast bar in our kitchen. I take mine in the morning along with my Nexium (for GERD), and baby aspirin. Then in the evening I take my Metformin. I have found that have the PNV with my Nexium works for me because I never forget the Nexium. If I do, I am very unhappy for hours.

I think the trick is just to find a way to make it easy on yourself, and then set some sort of reminder until it becomes habit. Maybe try setting an alarm on your cell phone? GL!
