missing my prenatals on and off

[luv2bmommy]

hey guys i had a question about prenatals. with this pregnancy ive probably missed a weeks worth of my vitamins, not in a row but on and off, since i found out. sooo, im about 8 and a half weeks (estimate) and ive missed about 2 weeks worth then, because i didnt find out i was pregnant till i missed my period, then since ive known ive missed a day here and there. Anyway, it makes me nervous because I dont like my greens :) but have been making every attempt at eating healthy otherwise of course. but ive been so sick so far with morning sickness, and sometimes (actually almost every time) my prenatals make it WAY worse, so in the beginning i didnt really have an appetite, could only eat certain things and not very much of it. only for a bit, now im much better and eating more.  So, I know this is a really important time for growth of the fetus, do you think any harm could have been done? This didnt happen with my other pregnancies, the pill never phased me! but, with my first daughter i didnt start taking them till way later, and i had a much greater appetite in the beginning, so i know i was getting my vitamins from somewhere, everywhere! but with this one, i just felt so SICK! i hope i havent harmed anything, my first docs app is oct 8th, i need advice before then!

I forgot to take my prenatals ALOT when I was pregnant with my daughter.
Like I'd only take them once or twice a week once I got in my later months.
Hubby n I kept moving and getting into bad situations with where we were living and I had SOOOO much on my mind I always forgot to take my prenatals and do alot of things.

This time, I still forget to take them maybe once a week or so I'll forget to take them.
I'm more attiment [[sp?]] about taking them this time around because I'm on prescription strength prenatals because my body is having a hard time handling back to back pregnancies and I lose weight if I don't take them.

I always keep a fresh bottle of water with me at night, and I keep my prenatals  on my nightstand.
I usually pop them in before I lay down for bed.

Try doing that.

It won't kill your baby to miss a day here n there.
How do you think women got thru pregnancies before prenatals were invented?

Set them on your dresser/nightstand and take one before bed (I always bring up water with me to bed).

Forgetting every once in awhile isn't a big deal. So long as you're getting at LEAST one down a week, you should be fine. It's hard in the 1st trimester anyway.

i set the alarm on my cell phone and a reminder telling me to take my prenatals...perhaps doing that would help you remember. i also put a post it note on the bathroom mirror (that's where i kept my prenatals) as an extra reminder. (and one on the fridge, computer and tv. i have a TERRIBLE memory)
