prenatal vitamins

This may be a dumb question, but-
I don't remember if I took my prenatal vitamin today.  I'm normally very disciplined and never forget to take it, but this morning was stressful, having to visit both the RE and the ob-gyn, and I was worried, with my mind on other things. So, do I take one now or not?

I asked my OB about that once, bec I was switching to a different vitamin and didn't get a new prescription until a day later, so I had to skip a day.  Ob wasn't concerned at all.  He says that people skip them all the time.  I have few friends who took them on and off the entire pregnancy.
I'm just like you I keep a very stict rgiment and make sure I take them every day.

I have done that a few times... what I have done is if you take it in the morning.. wait and take it tonight..instead... and vice versa... the 8/10 hrs.. wont be bad..
but dont you hate that... something that simple.. and just cant remember...

I would just wait. I have read a lot about iron overload. If you are taking Rx like me it has a warning on it about taking more than one a day. So, if I were you I would just eat extra healthy today and take it tomorrow. Girl I have those days too, don't stress!!
