Also, the ones from the doctor gave me stomach aches no matter what time of day I took them. My doctor suggested I take Flintstones instead. You would take 2 of those a day.

When I was pregnant with my second, I didn't drink enough and the pill melted in my throat. I didn't know it until I started having problems with heart burn and pain. It will never heal. I would also suggest telling your parents soon. If you are nervous have someone else with you when you tell them. have a plan as to how you might handle things after the baby comes, ie... school, work, day care, that kind of thing. I was 17 when I got pregnant the first time and I worked and managed to take care of things and pay for everything on my own. If my mom watched my son, I paid her.

nicnmicsmom - 976 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) The "One a day" prenatal vitamins have two different vitamins in them. One a regular prenatal and the other a DHEA supplement (fish oil, etc to help baby's brain growth). neither made me sick to my stomach. You may still need to get some extra calcium, folic acid and maybe iron though. I chew TUMS for the calcium and use activia for the calcium(they're chocolate). Take them at NIGHT before your go to bed and they won't hurt your stomach so much. Watch your diet. Try not to eat empty calories. Good luck
