I am currently taking my prenatal vitamin in the morning w/breakfast; however, my neighbor told me that she takes hers at night. Is there a particular time in the day to take, does it make a difference?

There may be no certain time to take the one you're taking. The prenatals that I was prescribed were in two parts. I had to take one in the morning and one in the evening.
If there are no particular directions on the packaging and your doctor hasn't given you any instructions, just take it when it's most convenient for you. Some women find that their vitamins make them ill unless they take them at a certain time of day. If that happens with you, just take them when you're comfortable taking them.
The most important thing is to be as consitent as possible with the time that you do take them.

I'm bad about remembering taking them, so I've reprogrammed to take them the first time my feet hit the floor in the morning, even if it's just a quick potty run. I know some are better if you take them with food, though, since they can upset the stomach.
I really don't think it really makes any difference when, just as long as you take them (or be really good about getting the nutrients from your diet).

I take mine at night or I get nauseous, but the problem with taking them at night is they kind of wake me up too. So I have to take them like right before I fall asleep or I'll be up all night.

I always take mine in the morning. I felt it gave me a little more energy for work

it doesn't matter whatever works best for you. I had to take mine at night because it made me sick to my stomach to take it in the morning but if it works for you to take it in the morning that is fine.

Alot of women take them at night because they make them sick, or because you shouldn't have any milk within an hour before and after taking them.
