Anyone keep forgetting to take their prenatals? lol

Disclaimer:  Yes, I know that missing one day is not going to cause my child to come out with 3 heads.

I don't know if it's pregnancy brain, or if I didn't really grow out of my high school A.D.D. like I thought I did, but dern it I keep forgetting the frickin prenatal vitamin! grr...  I even carry them with me in my purse, and I have even SET MY ALARM on my phone... but I'm still pulling a ditz-move pretty much every day.  How I am accomplishing this, I still don't know.

It goes like this:  Day 1: I take it at 9 am

                         Day 2: I forget until 2 pm

                         Day 3: I forget until 7pm

                         Day 4: I forget alltogther

                         Repeat cycle.

    I leave mine out on the counter by the refrigerator. It's a good reminding place for me.

    I goret mine tooooooooo!!  I keep them in the kitchen because I have to eat them with a meal or I get sick.  SO I ate my cereal this morning with the full intention of taking one after I was done.  And completely forgot, left it on the counter.  SO mad at myself!!!

    I take them at night right before bed. I started taking them over a year ago (its a good idea to take them when you're TTC) so by now I am used to it. Its part of my bedtime routine.

    i keep them by my bed bc if i eat them during the day i feel sick. but i WISH i could "forget" taking them -- they are so ginormous i swear i almost choked on one last night. combine that with the giant Omega 3 pill i am taking and it is a gagfest each evening.

    I have the same problem as well.  I keep trying different methods to help me remember.  I am noticing that it is easier for me to make a routine of it in the morning or at night.  I get up in the moring and go streight to the kitchen and get the prenatals and a glass of water.  Then I start my day.  I even put a check mark on the calander so I know that I have done it for that day! 

     

    Do anything that it takes and find your own method.  You know what is best for you.  GOOD LUCK!

    Thanks for the reminder! I have to take mine now :)

    Can you take yours with dairy? Mine recommend against it, but it's the only thing I eat!

    I can only take mine at night or they make me super sick. I keep falling asleep without taking them. Scares the poop out of me.

    I would keep them next to the toaster in my kitchen.  While I was waiting for my waffle to toast I'd see it and remember to take them.  Now I keep the alarm on my phone set so I remember to take them (breastfeeding) and my birth control (don't want to be back here too soon!!)

    BunBaker- My actually says to take with milk- can you do that with yours? 

    I too have to take mine at night before bed and they are even on my night-stand and I still forget about once a week. I'm getting better though!

    I was great at taking them with DD. This time around...not so much. Last night it hit me that I hadn't taken them in 4 days!!!!!!

    I put them on my nightstand last night in hopes that would help me remember.

    I keep the bottle right next to my toothbrush so that I never forget.  I brush my teeth at night, take the pill, go to bed.

    I keep mine on the kitchen counter also, but still kept forgetting, or I would take it and then be asking myself if I took them. I had to go get one of those daily pill boxes so I would know if I took one that day. LOL

     Apparently I've turned into an 80 year old!
