Feel bad

I usually take my prenatal vitamins at night but last night I fell asleep and don't remember taking it....Am I a bad mom? what should I do? HELP!!!!

Your babies are doomed.  Horrid horrid mother you!  

J/K   Just take it tonight and dont worry about it.  Missing 1 night is not going to make a difference.  

There are women who never take them and their kids are just fine.

really? come on - i hope this is MUD. If it isn't- you need to chill out. You will do MUCH MUCH worse to your child on a daily basis compared to missing a PNV - considering missing a PNV does nothing bad to your child.... you need to chill or you will be an insane stressed mother which = not good for babies.

I dont think its mud.  I know IRL people who FREAK out if they miss 1 PNV.  Im like....who the feck cares...just pick back up with the next days and go on with your life.  Your baby will be fine.  

So I can imagine someone with multiples...and esp a first time mom (which this sounds like) would be freaking out.   You always hear people talk about how important a PNV is so forgetting one seems terrible.  

I do however agree that she needs to chill out.   Stressing over stupid stuff could do more harm than not taking vitamins at all.

If missing 1 PNV makes you a bad mom, I must be the worlds worst, I forgot my PNV's all the time. Luckily, my babies came out with all ten fingers and toes, and only one head each.

I wish I had time to worry about missing a PNV.  You will be ok, breathe.

Uh, by the end of my pregnancy I did good to remember taking them 2-3 times a week.  My kids are fine.  Well, except for that extra toe they each have on their right feet.  But it's ok, because shoes hide that just fine.

i stopped taking them altogether at about 28wks, as i could. not. poop.  no amount of colace would help :P  i did take a no-iron multi & folic acid though.  and i'm sure i forgot

goldie is right, you will do much worse on a daily when you have the kids.  you're human.

Isn't that the truth?

I take 2 of DD's gummy vitamins.  She remembers that she needs them, so I pop a couple at the same time.  Better than nothing, IMHO.
