Pregnacare question

I've been taking pregnacare tablets since I've been pregnant. I usually eat my main meal in the evening and take the pregnacare tablet then following the advice to take it with your main meal. However sometimes I have a main meal midday but I'm unsure on these days whether to take the tablet with the main meal as it would be less than 24 hours since the previous tablet the previous day as it would have been evening to midday than evening to evening. Is this ok or should I be taking it every 24 hours (same time each day)? But then on these days I would be taking it with a lighter meal so is this ok too? When it says once a day does it mean once a calendar day or a strict 24 hours?

Basically which is better to stick to taking it every 24 hours or have it with the main meal (even if this will be less than 24 hours since the previous dose at times)?
I don't want to do anything to potentially harm my unborn baby.
Many thanks

I would just take it once a day when you remember

I've never worried about taking mine with a meal, I just take it at night before I go to bed. As long as you've eaten something before you take it and you're not on an empty stomach, it really doesn't matter - don't worry about whether it was your biggest meal of the day or not.

I always had mine with dinner - now I have changed to breakfast as my reflux can be so bad at night even taking a tablet would set it off

Same as other posters - take at the same time each day, whenever works for you. I took mine at breakfast even though it’s my smallest meal, because I was most likely to do it then (I’m always home for breakfast, plus I was used to taking the contraceptive pill with breakfast before we started TTC).
