Pre-Natal Vitamins Making Me Sick???

[mickeyboat]

I had trouble with them too. My Midwife said if I ate a bowl of Total cereal every day, I didn't have to take them. So I did!

I, too, got pukey from the vitamins. The bedtime thing didn't work for me because then I'd wake up feeling sick. You might want to try taking them right in the middle of a meal. My doctor said that sometimes they are tolerated better if you have food in your stomach. Worked for me.

My prenatals made me nauseous and constipated as well. The nurse practioner at the office suggested I just take Flinstones vitamins. That worked out great.

I couldn't even open the bottle - the smell got to me every time. There are several brands out there, maybe you could ask for samples to test them? Good luck.

I also took Flintstones vitamins during my pregnancy. I was sicker than sick morning, noon and night for the first 4 months and would gag just looking at the prenatals.

Take them at night. I was very, very lucky with both DS6 and DS4-I had NO morning sickness(I had other issues, so it balanced out!). The one time I felt the slightest bit "weird" in the a.m. was right after I took the vitamins. I immediately began to set one on my nightstand every morning, and took it right before bed. If there was any nausea, I slept right through it.

I took Prenate with my first two pregnancies and they made me nauseous. I'm takling Precare this time and they don't bother me

I could not find any over the counter ones that I could stand. I was on Prenate Advance for DS and as long as I took them with dinner I did fine. This time my doctor prescribed Prenate Elite and I find that it works best if I take them right before bed.

Try different pills at different times of the day and see what works best for you.
