Whose guilty of not taking their prenatals? Or, maybe you are good and keep up on them?

Are you guilty of not taking your prenatals?  Or, maybe you are good and remember to take them?

I was really good about taking them, then I forgot a couple of days and realized I didn't feel nearly as sick in the morning.  So, instead of taking a prenatal I have been taking my kids vitamins.

So guilty of not taking my multi everyday. I was really good with the folic acid for the first two trimester but since 3rd trimester I usually remember on a day when I know I did not eat as healthy.

i CAN NOT take them.  i always try very hard in the beginning to take them, but end up not being able to.  they make me so sick and constipated, lol.  BUT i do take gummy vitamins!

I have an alarm set on my phone to take them every night at 6:30pm.  I have maybe missed 3 or 4 pills from not being home or getting side tracked.  But I have done good so far :)

I am totally guilty of not taking them...but, my son was born perfectly healthy 7lbs 7oz with NO complications.... so truthfully I don't feel that bad about  not taking them...

With my 1st preg. I NEVER forgot..only 1 time I didn't take them because I was moving, and like a moron I packed them the night before and were already on the truck ready to move. With 2nd..only 2 times did I forget and it was like a ..I'm running late for work and it slipped my mind kinda thing. This time..I don't know what it is ..at least every 2-3 weeks I will miss a day and by the time I realize, it's too late so I just have to take it the next day..which is really bad because I also have no thyroid and am on a supplement that I HAVE to take every day for that as well.

I haven't missed a single one since we found out we were pregnant (thanks to my husband LOL). If it were up to me I would forget to take them everyday but my husband reminds me every night.
