Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

I was going to wait to post on the PG board again until my doctor's app in 1 week but I have 2 questions that can't wait.

With my first pregnancy I was so nauseous from about 6-14 weeks, my doctor put me on an Rx. I think that was actually making it worse. I stopped taking that and my nausea stopped.

This time around it's just starting, I'm almost 7 weeks. I have a few questions:

1. Do you think it's the prenatal vitamins. I tested myself by not taking them a day or two and I'm slightly better. Anyone get away with not taking them?

2. I'm not good at throwing up (sorry, TMI). But I was wondering if I make myself sick, will I get a little relief?

Thanks for the answers and happy to be back posting here.

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

are you trying to take your prenatals with food?

Also and I dont know why its different but if i take the chewables, i do not get nauseous at all! its great.

Also, are you trying small meals every 2 hours- even 5 crackers should help.

GL!
and welcome!

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

I was taking the prenatals with lunch. And that fishy pill, ugh. It always repeats. That was the first to go even though I think that one is more important. Can I get the chewables at CVS or are they Rx?

I do find myself eating often. Maybe I'll try and space things out a little more. My jeans are already getting tight.

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

i was not able to take vitamins at all for this entire pregnancy. With my last 2 i was able to take them right before bed. Any other time of day they would make me sick.

and for me the nausea would come back 5 minutes after throwing up. so i dont think that would actually work. Throwing up never actually made me fee better.

I didn't take my prenatal for a chunk of my pregnancy cause I couldn't keep anything down so they were just going to come right back.

I suggest getting one where the DHA portion is not from fish. It will eliminate the fishy after taste that may be making your MS worse.

I would not make yourself throw up. I tried it and no it did not help.

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

I didn't take prenatals for either of my pregnancies. My doctor was okay with me just taking a multi-vitamin each day.

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

Thanks ladies. I feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one who can't do the vitamins.

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

could def be the vitamins...I take Rainbow Light prenatatls bc they are food based...try a food based prenatal

I take VitaFusion gummy prenatals and I have not had a problem keeping them down and they do not repeat on me. I take them at night.

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

Try taking your prenatals before bed. This way your stomach isn't empty and you'll sleep through any side effects.

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

I take citranatal assure and they are very easy on my stomach and the DHA is plant based. I do believe that there is a prescription prenatal that is made for women who have MS

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

I hardly threw up at all, but I've been super nauseous. I used to think I'd get relief if I would just throw up...I was wrong bc the few times I actually did throw up did not make me feel ANY better.

Hope you find relief soon.

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

I rediscovered Preggie Pop Drops last night while I was going through my pantry looking for something to eat. I found these at the end of MS with my first. I took one last night and it really did help. I'm going to try and use them today to stay ahead of the nausea and see if this helps. They are a little pricey but if it helps I'll buy them in bulk.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I really appreciate it.

In spite of feeling nauseated with DS#1 I was able to take my vitamins every day though I had to do it with a heavy meal -- like dinner. This time around, not so much. I honestly barely took them because they made me feel worse AND I have vitamins that are supposed to be easy on the stomach. And now it's at the point where I forget to do so -- not because they make me sick (I'm 34 weeks tomorrow).

Can you take pre natal before bed? Also, maybe popsicles would help?

Re: Nausea ?s - Possible TMI

I thought you were suppose to wait 2 hours after eating too take the pre Natals. I would take them during the day and they made me sick then I switched to bed time and felt so much better
