[taysmommy]

since im sure all you know im ttc, well with my dd, i didnt take my prenatal vitamins regularly because they made me so sick, i tried three different brands and still they made me very sick, well im trying to be good this time and start taking them before i concieve, to get used to them i guess, i took one yesterday and YUCK! they made me really sick and im not even pregnant yet! any advise on a brand thats easy on the tummy? (i took it at night last night thinking i wouldnt get sick because i just finished dinner but that didnt help) any one else get really sick from the vitamins?

I also got REALLY sick when I took mine no matter what time of day or emtpy/full stomach.  My dr. finally gave me some differnt sample vitamins and I tried some and picked the one that didn't make me sick. He wrote me a prescription for Vitafol and they are wonderful (at least for me).  They are a little more expensive than over the counter ($20 for a months worht) but with the way my body reacted it was worth it. Good luck!!

I also feel like throwing up when I take them in the morning but once I started taking them at night....doesnt affect me one bit.

Mine also say that you should take on an empty stomach because feeling sick is a common side effect.  They also suggest eating crackers to help with the sick feeling.  I take mine at night, too, though, so I'm pretty much sleeping minutes after I take it...

I take a brand called Pregnancy Plus multivitamin.  You take one a day...I take it with food...and they don't bother my stomach at all.

I had the same problem...my doctor had me chew 2 Flinstones vitamins a day...they did not make me feel sick at all!

I take Natelle EZ and they are advertised and produced to be "ez" (get it?! LOL!) on the stomach. I haven't had a single problem with them.

thanks everyone, i took a half of one today on an empty stomach to see if that would help, felt sick for about 2 hours after, so tomorrow im going to try it at night! thanks for all the advise, i guess it depends on which brand you use as to when you take them, i guess i should have looked on the bottle hehe my brains a little racked with all these opks and bd'ing!

Mine says to take on an empty stomach, do you get sick, or do they make you nausiated? maybe try right at bedtime, a few hours after eating??
