Am i terrible?

shortyAZ · July 2015

I've been sick and beyond busy with all my over time hours at work. I think I've gone about 3 or 4 days without taking my prenatal vitamins. Am i a terrible mom to be?

Girl please. I forget all the time! I had to set an alarm and sometimes I still forget!

Lol thanks. I just want to be sure. My boyfriend makes it seem like I'm depriving the baby so i wanted to check.

Do you take it at a specific time or part of the day?
It helped me to always take it right before bed and right before I brush my teeth. So the bottle sits next to the toothbrush holder as a reminder to take them every night.

Nope, not terrible but it's good to set up a routine for yourself. Keep your bottle in your purse or a visible place. Get in the habit of taking it about the same time each day. You can set an alarm on your phone. I take mine with breakfast each morning so it has become a habit. 3 or 4 days won't hurt the baby but it's important to be taking your prenatal as consistently as you can to fuel your body with some nutrients you may be lacking.

Lol I forget sometimes especially weekends. I even have a reminder on my phone and silly forget. DH jokes that it's baby brain food.

Ive purposely been missing mine here and there. I've been feeling pretty yucky after any pills. I'm not too worried.

Mine are on my night stand. I take them right before I go to bed!

If you're worried you're a terrible mom, you aren't. Worrying that you're doing something wrong (which forgetting vitamins is totally normal!) actually means you're a good mom. Don't beat yourself up!

I missed for about 2 weeks because after I hit 13 weeks I started having a hard time getting them down. Trying to get myself back into the habit of taking them. You are not alone!

I stopped taking mine about 2 months ago, doctor recommended I stop until my sickness goes away since there's no point in taking them if I'm just going to throw it back up. I will probably be starting mine back up in the next 2 weeks. My patch for vomiting and nausea runs out tomorrow, and I'll be trying to get my body used to not being dependent on it. Don't stress too much about missing it every once in a while

I was great about taking them before I got pregnant and for a while after. And then all of the sudden I can't remember to take them at all. I have now made it my hubby's job to remind me (he likes to be involved so he really doesn't mind). He now reminds me at dinner every night.

Maybe you should try the vita fusion gummy's? They're pretty yummy and the only thing that they're missing is iron. Seriously though, they don't cause any nausea or tummy upset. The other thing that doesn't upset a lot of people stomachs are the pearls that are prescription.

I'm almost 17 weeks. I just finished my first bottle of pills yesterday. It's a 30 day bottle. Oops?

) baby is growing and I'm still feeling ok. So in my opinion, OP, you are completely fine
