Yeah I took them for the first few weeks but the vomiting was just unbearable.. I'm 17+5 and still vomiting so I don't take them because it just makes it worse... I kinda feel bad but I guess I will try the gummys.

Mine made me feel sick too so I started taking mine right before I go to bed. My doctor said that the flinstones vitamins were ok to take if my prenatals kept making me sick.

I couldn't take my vitamins for the same reason.   They would make me so sick. So I talked to my ob about it and she said I can take 2 children's Flintstones vitamins once a day and that's equivalent to what me and baby need. I highly suggest it because they are delicious lol.

I know a few women 1 of my best friends that has 4 incredibly healthy kids and she has NEVER taken a prenatal. However, if you can try to take the vitamins or at least kids gummy vitamins, anything that you can give your growing baby will super benefit them and you. Try the prenatal gummy ones. Ive heard good things about those. I havent taken mine in 4 weeks as i had to start taking iron supplements and the 2 together was just a little much for me but i do take mine as much as i can

I used the gummys last time, but my dr gave me a whole bunch of free samples and I didn't have to buy any. I haven't taken any this time because I can't afford them

Have you tried takin' 'em during different times of the day? Maybe perhaps right before bed? Tried different ones? I'm scared not to take 'em for the sake of my baby lol, but I haven't had any problems.

If u throw up a lot u should try to take them more. The baby will get what they can from u.. but I did the same thing and lost a lot of calcium. I forget from time to time, but just try. I'mnot gonna lie im 38 weeks and haven't taken mine in like a week
