HELP!!!!! Prenatal Vitamins and Morning Sickness

Has anyone experienced morning sickness each time the prenatal vitamins is taken? I have tried taking it with food, with out food, at night in the morning midday and the results are generally the same---nausea followed by BRAFFING.

Re: HELP!!!!! Prenatal Vitamins and Morning Sickness

Do I have to take what is prescribed or can I try some other type of over the counter prenatal vitamins?

Re: HELP!!!!! Prenatal Vitamins and Morning Sickness

Both of my pregnancies I have had problems with my prenatals. With my 1st I was able to take the over the counter Target brand and keep them down.

This time around I tried a bunch of prenatals and then ended up with kiddie vitamins and a folic acid supplement. They still make me sick so I take them when I can.

Re: HELP!!!!! Prenatal Vitamins and Morning Sickness

I take mine in bed right before I go to sleep, this way im sleeping if it upsets my stomach or makes me nauseous. If that doesnt help, ask the doctor to switch you to something more gentile.

I second the Stuart prenatals, I took them when I couldn't stomach the prescription vitamins my OB gave me and they didn't make me nauseous. I bought them from the vitamin aisle at Stop & Shop.

Mine too. I was getting VIOLENTLY ill every single time no matter what we tried. I just paid a lot more attention to what vitamins I was taking in w/ my food- esp. the folate/ folic acid.

Stop taking them if they aren't agreeing with you, I never took any with either of my pregnancies and I had a healthy baby and this pregnancy is going well. Just eat a balanced diet and take folic acid on its own. GOod luck!

Re: HELP!!!!! Prenatal Vitamins and Morning Sickness

For DS I went through 16 different prenatal vitamins until settling on the Flinstone gummy vitamins plus a folic acid pill. Good luck!

Change your vitamins! Luckily I haven't had this experience. I would find one that works best for you and your tummy.
