When I take my prenatal pills I feel sick if I eat something and no matter what it is that I at it feels like it`s not going down...like it`s going to 1 spot and then stops and the rest of the day I can`t eat anything...so I stop taking them for about 3 or 4 days and I can eat like crazy with no problems...Can someone tell me if this is normal?

That was the only way I could keep them down. Take them with a meal every other day or so. You'll be fine. But take a fish oil supp everyday! Get those Omega 3's and DHA!! Those shouldn't upset your tummy at all...thankfully, lol. Good luck Mamma!! :-D

They switched me to PREG VIT and I am perfectly fine:) I was told it was the iron that caused it. The Preg Vit brand has a morning and night pill--each with different vitamins in it which makes it easier for your stomach to deal with.

Debra - 1200 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i used to take them at night. Try switching brands of vitamins too. I thought the centrum 'materna' brand was a lot better than other ones. If you can't take them, try making sure your diet is balanced with fruits/veggies, whole grains, dairy, meats etc and take a calcium, folic acid and iron supplement. those are the main ones that you really need to make sure you have a lot of.

SurferBabyGirl-on-Board - 1200 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) MY prenatal to this day (38 wks) makes me nausea's, no appetite, & extreme migraines. Doctor said this is completley normal & I asked if it was ok to switch to the flinston vitamins, she said it should be fine & they work sooooo much better for me & the baby gets what it needs & I feel better.
