Take it at night before bed. Gnc sells a really good one with dha that's really gentle on the system.

I was miserably sick with my first. My OB had me stop the prenatals and start taking 2 flintstone vitamins and 1 folic acid. It has made such a huge difference for me.

You can take the flintstone vitamins. That's what my doctor told me to take when the prenatals were making me sick.

If u have issues with forgeting to take them at night then keep then next to ur bed with water and saltine crackes where u can see them. Eat a cracker then take ur prenatal and an other sip of water after, it should help at least but if that doesnt work then try eating the cracker after u take ur prenatel. Also keep some tums and natural ginger candies (hard or chewy) next to ur bed for indigestion or nasea.
