Try taking them at night. I couldn't take during first tri and they haven't bothered me since 3rd. Try to take them keep crackers next to yourbbed and the first thing in the morning when you wake up before you even move eat a couple crackers let them settle then drink some warm water. Ginger helps with nausea too. At least try tho. My baby is just fine and I didn't take them at all until 3rd and its off and on. I don't take them when I get sevwrly constipated I have to stop

Your not supposed to stop until sometime after you have had the baby, if they are making you sick talk to your doctor.

With my first child I took 2 Flintstone vitamins a day. With my second I took one here and there. With this pregnancy I haven't taken any at all. It's not something you have to take it just gives you the vitamins you lack in with the different food you eat. But as long as you are healthy then you shouldn't worry

I stopped. Started again. Then stopped again. Cant handle them:/ gummies or pills... i dont recomend to stop, if you can handle them. They are extremely imprtant. But im now 39.1 weeks.

My advice if you do stop.. MAKE SURE your getting your vitamins in the food you eat.(iron, etc)  It can cause a lot of problems if baby doesnt get the nutrition/vitamins they need.

I took them my entire pregnancy with my first but I have not taken them with my 2nd (this pregnancy.) The baby is healthy so far and haven't had any problems otherwise.

It is not advised to stop taking prenatal vitamins, you should continue to take them after birth if you are breastfeeding. If you cannot handle prenatal vitamins, take two Flintstones vitamins a day.
