Prenatal vitamins HELP!

[Valerie0124]

So I'm 9 weeks but the last couple days I've bin having bad headaches and just feeling like crap I've also bin forgetting to take my vitamins ... Do I take 2 if I forget or just let it go? Any advice on anything?

Thanks ladies!

I'm allergic to Prenatals, So my Dr.s have me take flinston vitamins, If your really worried about a missed prenatal,I would get a bottle of these for back up they work great ,I have two healthy babies and 1 on the way

Don't take more than the recommended daily dose of your prenatal vitamin. If you've missed a few and are concerned, eat a few more fruits/veggies, or you can try adding a nutrional bar or shake like Boost, Ensure or SlimFast now and then. (This also helps you make sure you're getting nutrients if morning sickness has been a problem.)

I have chronic migraines and have had major problems with the headaches. Dehydration aggravates tension headaches -- make sure you're getting lots and lots of water.

I hate taking pills so I have a chewable gummy prenatal. I keep my vitamins front and center on the master bath counter, so it's the first thing I see when I get up every morning. I take them before doing anything else. After a few days, this just becomes a habit and you don't have to think about it and worry whether you've taken them or not. :-)

No don't double. If you forget your vitamins it's not a big deal, you just don't want to make a habit of it. Plenty of women (like me) throw up their prenatals for the entire first trimester and still have healthy babies, lol.

Just eat a healthy balanced diet and take your prenatals as often as you can possibly remember!

If I forget mine I always try to catch up by taking one in the morning and one at night,  try taking them with your breakfast, I always get mine out when I'm making my breakfast so I dont forget them
