prenatals

[M_Nmommy]

Im 8 weeks and I have bad all day sickness! My prenatals make me even more sick and I feel sooo rough. Is it ok to cut it in half and have one half in the morning, and one later at night??

They made me sick also so I began taking them at night right before bed and have been fine with that, no sickness:) Good luck!

Gummies are So much better

Flinstones are the ONLY thing that I found helped. Every prenatal has made me so sick. Doctor said Flintstones are a good substitute :)

Thanks for all your replies! Im going to try taking them at night. I was anemic 6 months ago, so I need Iron, and my son had a birth defect so need the prenatals!

Add a vitamin b6 ladies.. it will be your best friend! I was getting sick 8+ times a day till I started taking the b6 (baby Dr. Told me 2)

Gummies helped me!!

I can't take any prenatal. Flintstone gummies dont make me sick and are ok for baby. I take liquid all natural iron from the health food store, also ok for baby, and it works wonders.

I had the same problem with my first. My Dr suggested taking a children's vitamin so that I could still get the main nutrients. I'm only 6 weeks now and I have yet to get sick.

I'm sure I'll get some mixed replies here, but with my daughter - I didn't take any for that exact reason.
I tried different brands, taking the 2 pill kind one in AM and one in PM, cutting them in half, etc. Nothing worked, so I stopped taking them
The only issue I had was I had low iron, so I tried to up red meat, and leafy greens to help.
With this pregnancy (i'm 19wks) I stopped taking them at like 10wks just because I was / am eating healthy enough, and if baby was going to have birth defects, they'd already BE there by then anyways.
It's all up to you. Since I stopped taking them, I feel a bit more tired... but that's because I haven't upped my intake of iron, but my bloodwork hasn't shown anything abnormal, and my MW doesn't really care? lol.

Sip some ginger tea. You can either make it yourself from peeled and sliced fresh ginger, or buy herbal tea packets.

Take the gummys or get the prenatals without iron

Hey hun I'm 6 weeks and I feel the same way about the all day sickness even though mine is random or I should say hit and miss but I had to start taking my prenatals at night as well so that if they were going to make my stomach upset then I wouldn't even notice it. Sending you blessings. Have you had your first visit yet?  I'm anxiously waiting for mine next week!

I got the gummies, they taste great and I can chew them. I also take mine at night before bed to prevent being sick. I also coat my stomach with milk it helps to keep you from being so yuck. Hopefully it helps you?

I always take mine right before bed to avoid get sick from it,  and I'm currently 37 weeks
