Vitamin question

[ShineyHappyPeople]

This might be a completely stupid question but i'll ask it anyway

If you forget to take prenatal vitamins at weekends (as in Sat / Sun) do they still work as effectively??

I don't know hun, but you just reminded me I haven't took mine today!

Sometimes I forget to take mine So I'd be interested to hear what people say !

I sometimes forget to take mine... I asked the Dr recently if I could take mine at different time to what they say on the packet (after food) because I always forget!!! he said it would be ok.....

infact I aint taken mine today

I don't know but I have wondered this myself before...runs off to go and take pronatal that I forgot to take earlier

I'm always forgetting to take mine too

I've got a vague memory of someone in first tri positing ages ago that they occasionally forgot to take theirs and the midwife saying their blood test showed good levels of folic acid.

It's a very vague memory so I could be completely wrong, I've no idea if they even test for that!

Don't forget you get folic acid in your food, so really the tablets are just like an ''insurance'' top up!

I wouldnt worry at all if you miss any, they never took folic acid years ago, they got it in their diet. Green leafy veg is where you get it.
