1st Trimester

Crap, ran out of vitamins!!!

I totally forgot to go pick them up at my pharmacy today they are prescription. My pharmacy is closed on weekend so I will have 2 days without vitamins. Should I go by some over the counter and take them for two days? I really don't want to mix or take something new without asking my doc. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to take them for just two days.

 Would u get OTC ones or would u just wait till Monday? Feeling like a bad mommy. I did take them three months before conceiving so I get some credit for that right? :(

  • I would just wait for Monday. You will be fine.

  • Wait until Monday - probably better to wait I think rather than taking wrong OTC ones over the weekend.
  • Either option is fine.  There's nothing wrong with OTC vitamins (I'd guess it's what the majority of women take) but there's also nothing wrong with missing a couple days.

  • Wait until Monday. I actually just completely forgot last weekend to take mine. And I had them right there in my cupboard!! When I'm not in my normal weekly routine, I have a hard time remembering to take them. It won't hurt to not take them for a couple of days.

  • Either option is fine.  With my first pregnancy and this one, I was given the option to continue with my OTC or they would write me a Rx.  I've heard of some women that have trouble with prenatals are told to take two Flintstone chewables.  You can also skip a couple of days.  Some women who have bad m/s have trouble keeping them down and some just forget from time to time.  I take mine at night because of m/s but I fell asleep early the other night and didn't wake up until morning.
