*no bashing please and thank you!*

So is there anyone one out there that don't take vitamins? How far are u and which child is this? This is my 3rd with no vitamins. I don't take em because their nasty, hard to swallow and simply can't remember to take the darn things. I know, I know about the benefits.

    I didn't with my first child, but I am this time. The health department gave me some that r really tiny. But like @mama0811 said kids chewables will work too.
  • mommyof3tobemommyof3tobe
    @mama0811 Yeah I did take those for a while this pregnancy and ran out. I will go and buy some this weekend. Even though I'm 30.5wks. Its better than not at all!!

    @emy I asked my doc about some little ones, and she said she didn't know she knew about the names not sizes.

    You can buy tiny ones. And I have mine by my bed. To help with remembering

    I always start out taking them and start slacking halfway through. Every time I read one of these threads, I think "oh, I should take one!" lol!

    This is my second baby, I just really suck at remembering pills.

    With my first I took them regularely but with this one I keep forgetting, esspecialy since I can't take them within 4 hours of my thyroid meds. The only thing that I have noticed a differance with is my weight gain. I had a friend who gave birth to her first baby girl and she weighd not even 6 pounds, full term, with her second girl someone told her to take two a day (to have a bigger baby) and that's what she did, the second one was born 4 weeks early but weighd under 9 pounds. And I don't seem to gain as much weight with this one either. The only thing that is important though is the folic acid. But I guess if the blood tests come out ok it's fine.

    Also if they make you sick, there is an over the counter kind, or folic acid is enough.

    I was really good in the beginning but I always forget :/ my bottle had 100 pills and I still have like 15 left in there lol I probably remember 1-3 times a week. Oh and I'm 33 weeks.

    My son was 8lbs + and I didn't take any with him.
  • lucyloo288lucyloo288
    My mom didn't take them with any of her 4 kids.. we're all fine.. I wasn't taking them because I never remembered to, but now I am because I'm taking another med that I can't miss, so its easier to remember.

    I take mine at night my dr says it help with the sickness. I take folic acid and a prenatal viatiman. I got the prenatal from the viatiman from walmart.

    I don't take my every day, I'm 31 weeks but so far I went through 150 pills, but all my tests were fine but lately my nails have become very brittle, I wonder if it's a lack of some vitamin or if they are just like this.
  • mommyof3tobemommyof3tobe
    @mama_kat... hmm so vits are for us huh. Never had anyone tell me that, always thought they for baby well and us too, but mainly for baby!!
  • firsttymemomfirsttymemom
    i stopped taking mine at the beginning because they made me sick.. i switched the flintstone's and took them almost everyday but lately i tend to forget about them and only take it when i remember.. but so far so good with baby (which is my first)
  • novmom2benovmom2be
    I was taking the pills right when I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks. They made me sick and then forgot about them for awhile. Then I saw the gummies at walmart that has the dha and folic acid. They taste just like fruit snacks. Not bad at all. I myself keep them at bedside so everynight before I go to bed I plug my phone to charge and take them at the sametime.
  • 1stTime_Mommy1stTime_Mommy
    I'm 35wks with my first took them for a while but then misunderstood & stopped taking them thinking I didn't have to thru da whole pregnancy. I'll take em if I remember now
  • BentleysMommyBentleysMommy
    I didn't take them. I started out not taking them because I had horrible mornign sickness, and they made it worse then after morning sickness passed I just never remembered to. I had a healthy 7lb 9oz baby last Saturday :)
  • baby2dec14yayybaby2dec14yayy
    i didnt take them with my son because i always forgot :( he was 5 weeks early but 7lbs and perfectly healthy. i dont see why you HAVE to take them anyways. now i take vitamins everyday because of my pregnancy "diet" so stupid!
