What time of day do you take your vitamins?

Just wondering when other mamas like to take their vitamins. I just got mine today and I'm so happy to start them. I'll feel like I'm doing something right for me baby. I thought I'd take them at bedtime in case they bug me.

I went to local clinic today and asked the nurse for them and explained I was to worried to wait to start them until another week when I have an actually aptt. with another nurse. Please tell me it's better late then never when it comes to prenatals.

at this point I suggest you start taking them today... you have already missed most of the crucial time to be taking them... putting it off longer you might as well not even take them at all.

its NOT better late than never, its better ASAP than later.

Definitely... start taking them now.

I took mine in the morning for years and then had to switch to bedtime when I got pregnant because with morning sickness I couldn't keep 'em down. Now I can't choke them down in the evening, either, (still m/s and now heartburn to boot) so I've been taking them at lunchtime with food. Whatever works for you!

Oh yeah ASAP it will be! That's why I went to the clinic and asked to speak with a nurse and pretty much begged for a sample or something. I didn't want to wait wait until my apt. with the nurse on the 24th and didn't have money for any type of vitamin and had none at home.

Oh another question,but I think I know the answer all ready. Taking 2 vitamins a day to "make up for starting late" is not a good idea right?

yeah not at all. they have a certain amount of everything your body needs. you double it up and you could possibly end up overdosing on something or other and even with vitamins that can be bad.

also, it wont do anything to fix the past.

just start taking one per day from now on.
