Who forgets their PNV allllllll the timeeee!!???

wearebirds · November 2013

I totally forgot that I'm all out of PNV's and I haven't taken one in a few weeks. Whoopsies.

Do you forget? Or do you remember at all times? There's really no point to my asking...just feeling like mom of the year and wanted to see if anyone was a forgetful mess like me.

Me!
Even a lovely alarm in my phone doesnt help.
I'm not meant to take medicine.
BC, antibiotics. Etc. yeah i forget.

It's funny....before I was pregnant I took them everyday religiously. Now I'm lucky to take them 4 days a week.

ladyglittersparkles · November 2013

Aturl · November 2013

I took mine religiously before getting pregnant and early on. Now....I easily forget!!!

BabiesFTW · November 2013

I remember but I think it's because I take colace with it. I don't want to forget that!!

I don't take one. I took just folate while TTC and throughout the first tri, then stopped taking anything. Been drinking a lot of milk for the calcium, and I'm not anemic. My midwife thinks it's fine. Shrug.

BrideNamedMeg · November 2013

I forced them down earlier on for the folic acid, but now I rarely remember to take them. I was the same way with my other kids

ProudMommy030614 · November 2013

Every night after dinner mh gets me mine and all the rest of the night I am asking him if I remembered to take it!

wearebirds · November 2013

Lol I took them religiously for the two years of TTC.....can't remember it now. Lol.

stefaknee · November 2013

This is my third pregnancy, and in 3 pregnancies.. i've taken them maybe 10x combined.

maganonymous · November 2013

I haven't take one in at least 2 weeks...whoops. I think it's because the fish oil pills I take in combo with my PNV gross me out and make me gag. Regardless, I figure my mom had me without taking PNV's...and I turned out fine

at least I think I did HA!

I frequently forget my pnv as well as the other medicines I take daily. I've been taking Synthroid and Prozac for a long time but I usually take them in the morning. Even at 24 weeks I can't stomach taking any medicines in the morning though. And when I don't take them in the morning, it's really hard for me to remember to take them later... It's really not good that I haven't been taking the Synthroid everyday either... I've even trying really hard to remember but sometimes I still miss taking everything. Mom fail.

babylimas · November 2013

I don't take then. Don't even try anymore. I throw it up every time. I have tried all sorts. The gummies were the worst bc they gave me horrid diarrhea. I took them prior to pregnancy regularly and up to about 8 wks. So can't blame the defects on that.

mfarmer0811 · November 2013

I'm pretty good at taking them, but one day, after I had gone through almost a whole bottle, I realized they were post-natal!! I didn't even know they made those!! They have all the same nutrients, so I didn't sweat it too much.

SassyFlats · November 2013

I remember most of the time. I may forget once a week or so. I take chewable ones because of my gag reflex early on. It's gone now but my vitamins taste like Flintstones!

I've always had SOME kind of pill to take. So I guess it's just part of my routine.

Excitedmum35 · November 2013

I keep mine in the dinner table and take them with dinner. I have such pregnancy brain ill always say to DH "I haven't taken one if these yet have I?" I swear I have a 5 second memory.

crystaljoanna · November 2013

I switched brands about six weeks ago and realized today I should have been taking three pills - not one like I had been. At least baby got something these last six weeks!

springbaby03 · November 2013

I take B complex, dha, allergy med, and D so its very difficult for me to forget to take them all. Its part of my bedtime routine, pee, brush teeth, floss, pee, take meds and pee again. Haa!

My DH calls me Dory----from finding Nemo. Lol.

VanessaBee · November 2013

I feel so much better now!!! I was beating myself up a wee bit for forgetting a few times (like, geez! It took you forever to conceive and now you can't even remember to take vitamins?!?). But now I'll just chalk it up to preggo brain and stop feeling so bad about it!

Meandthey · November 2013

I forget all the time. They are more for u then they are for the baby anyways. But I eat a lot if vitmin enriched foods so I think that helps

I would forget all the time, but in the morning, when I take my thyroid meds, I put a PNV on its bottle right next to my toothbrush. That way as I'm brushing my teeth before bed, I see it and pop it in.

What's more of a challenge is my iron pill. I can't stomach it during the day (even though its slow release. And I can't take it with my PNV, and I can't take it within 4 hours of my thyroid meds, and I can't take it within 2 hours of food.

PNV before bed
Iron in middle of night during a pee break
Thyroid when I wake up - if its been 4 hours since iron. If not, I wait. Bummer part is I then have to wait 1/2-1 hour to eat breakfast. :-(

Holy hell. You win.

I'd get that all messed up in a heartbeat.

I keep the bottle on my nightstand and take it every night! No problem with forgetting when it's right there staring at me. I forgot a couple times when I kept them on the kitchen counter. This has been working great!
