9 Replies

I've been taking them, never took them in previous pregnancies, but keep panicking as cant remember if i took one or not do worried that I'm double dosing! Brain cells are def depleting! Getting that worried thinking about stopping them and just buying some folic acid, the alarm set on my phone is a waste of time its driving me nuts lol

Pregnacare is fantastic, has everything you need,so no need to take any other supplements.

So don't panic and carry on :)

I wouldn't worry too much if you've forgotton to take one each day, just carry on as normal. I believe as long as you take care of yourself " as in eating & resting" right the baby will be fine.

I take mine mid dinner with my OJ so always remember :) Some friends have been really sick in PG and not managed to keep it down that's why I take mine with food so stomach doesn't react...Congrats BTW X

I'm just so forgetful, I'm worried that i may be taking 2 a day! So doing more harm than good ! :-(

You will not do more harm - most multivitamins contain way more of everything than pregnacare - you will pee out most of what your body doesn't need as most vitamins are water soluable (which is why you get yellow sweet pee with barocca!!)

Just take them before you go to bed. They live with a water bottle by your bed then. You can see how many you have taken by cutting them up into strips of seven and only leaving seven out on a Sunday night, by the following Sunday, you know if you've missed any. Saves the rush in the morning, carrying them around, etc., also means you can take them before you get out of bed if you forget the night before.

ah good to know and thanks for the ideas but come up with one this morning i will do a little tick on my calender which is in my kitchen everytime i take one, no tick no tablet.....why i didnt think of this in the first place der!!!! lol

I use pregnacare, and like you I sometimes get confused as to whether I have taken one or not. I now write the days of the week on the foil at the back of each tablet. I still manage to forget some days, but I don't double up, just try and be better organised the next day. X
