23-6-2009 - prenatal pills crisis

My mood while writing this blog:
nervous!

hey ladies!!! soo i was just wondering about the prenatal pills... after i found out i was preg, i started taking them... then all of a sudden i started getting REALLY sick... like not wanting to even move at all... and if i did i would throw up everywhere... i thought it was the morning sickness kicking in.. then my friend at work told me it might be the pills because they also made her sick... so i stopped taking them for a couple of days and now i feel completely fine again... she said that her doctor just told her to take regular vitamins like the flinstones chewables or w/e.... then-again everyone else is telling me that the prenatals are sooo important and i have to take them regaurdless... but making me THAT sick just cant be healthy for the baby can it? i mean the saying goes... "a healthy mommy makes a healthy baby" right? and becides, when i take the pills, i throw up everything i eat... and the baby has to get food somehow, and its definatly NOT by puking it all back up lol. but see, i still dont have insurance or medicaid yet... and i still wont for awhile.. maybe like a month. so, i dont have a doctor to ask right now... hopefully you ladies will have some good advice for me!

Take the flinstone ones...i got SO SICK from the prenatal ones and my doctor said the flinstone ones were the best (take two though one for you and one for the baby). I took them through out my pregnancy and i had no complications and i gave brith to a very healthy baby girl! Also if you REALLY feel you need to take prenatal ones cut them in half take one half in the morning and one in the evening thats what my mom did when she was pregnant and it did not make her sick.

Hi! I'm not in your friends network, but I noticed your post on a friend's site. The thing about the prenatal vitamins is that they contain folic acid, and that is truly VITAL to babies in utero, especially this early on. I would try to take it at night or with food, as others have mentioned. You may want to try a different brand, too. It is definitely healthy for the baby, even if it makes you feel sick. Good luck! :)

The suggestions of trying to take them with meals is a great idea. I could never take them... I tried the chewables and had to take additonal FOLIC ACID with them also, which is one of the most important ingrediants while pregnant. I wasn't great at taking them with my son, who is now 2.5 years old. EVERYTHING made me sick with him, and I stopped taking them... and he is the healthiest, smartest two year old I know. I am definitely not suggesting not taking them though... but if for some reason you are unable to take them, I wouldn't worry too much! Good Luck, and I would try the chewables and folic acid if taking them with food doesn't do anything :)

are you taking them with food? i know if i take mine when i am eating a meal they stay down fine.... but if you take them on an empty tummy or it has been a while after eating they can make you feel sick and/or throw-up...... and if that doesnt work i would try a new brand.... good luck

I had to take my prenatal pills before I went to bed..... I would also get extremely tired and kind of dizzy. The doctors will tell you that prenatal vitamins have no side effects, which obviously WE know is not true. So, yeah try taking them before bed, and maybe try a diffferent brand. Good luck!
