what do you do if you forget?

What do you do if you've forgotten whether or not you've taken your prenatal for the day? Do you take another or do you just wait to take it the next day?

I usually take mine after I wake my little brother up for school in the mornings, but this morning he got up on his own so I couldn't remember! Lol

I usually take mine at night time after dinner, unless I'm gonna be out somewhere that night then I take it in the afternoon. I'm pretty good at remembering if I took one or not, unless I completely forget to take one that day. So I guess I just skip a day when I forget lol

If I can't remember I just skip it. Doubling up can be more harmful than skipping

If I can't remember I just wait until that night and take one. That way if I did take one there is a good time gap between the doses.(:
