prenatal vitamins?

So some nights  I forget if I had already taken my vitamins then I'll end up taking it and the whole night I'll worry if I took 2. Is it bad if you take more than one in one day? Has any ladies done this?

Another thing u could do until u get ur pillbox is to sit 7 out each Sunday. Then, if u can't member if u took it or not from day to day, u can just count them.

I was always bad at remembering to take in the morning and now I do it at night.  But I always have trouble remembering if I took it or not then thinking I took it twice. Hopefully that won't hurt baby if I did:|

I always take mine before I shut my eyes for bed. It helps me to keep track and also it helps me to not get sick. Those prenatals really make me feel sick so I rather be sleep while they are going to work

I was like that at the beginning. Just get a calendar or a piece of paper and mark down when you take one. Keep it in the same spot you keep the vitamins to make sure you don't forgot to mark it. That worked for me.

I was checking it off on a calendar after I took it. But for some reason yesterday I forgot if I did or not and didn't write it down on the calendar so I took it and then was thinking I might have taken 2. A pill box is a good idea!

Set an alarm on your phone. Or place the bottle on your night stand to remind yourself to take one before you go to sleep

I have days where I'm not sure if I took 2 it's happen  3 times in my pregnancy and I'm 31wks. So hopefully it's okay.

It's better to forget than to take too many, usually. If your doctor prescribes it like the comment above that's an exception but shouldn't be taken as advice for it to be okay for everyone. I actually don't take mine regularly anymore because they make me sick. I'm in my late 3rd trimester and baby is doing better than fine.
