Do You Remember To Take Your Prenatal Vitamins?by Kim Neyer | More from this Blogger 04 Nov 2010 08:19 PM I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and he reminded me of the importance of taking a daily multivitamin, even when you are not pregnant. He said even if you are only taking a children's chewable vitamin, it is really beneficial. It got me thinking about how diligent we are when we are pregnant. Does everyone remember to take their prenatal vitamin every day? If you are already in the habit of taking a daily vitamin, it's probably no big deal, but I always had a hard time remembering. I am ashamed to say that I probably forgot to take my vitamins half the time when I was pregnant. I need a special reminder to take it. Now that we are making plans to expand our family once more, I want to be more diligent about taking a daily vitamin. I am actually taking a multivitamin that I reviewed a few months ago. It is called Aspiring Mother and it is designed for women who are trying to conceive. It has 5mg of folic acid, which is extremely important in early pregnancy, even before you are able to know you are pregnant. That is one of the reasons everyone should take a vitamin when they are trying to get pregnant. They need the vitamins for pregnancy before they even realize it! To help me remember to take my vitamins every morning, I am keeping the bottle on top of the coffee maker where I am sure to see it. I don't always drink coffee, but I do get something to drink every morning and the coffee maker is just beneath the cabinet where we keep our glasses and tumblers. If that doesn't remind me to take my vitamin, I don't know what will. I'll just have to make sure my husband knows not to put the vitamins away!
