Threw up pill. Should I take another one?

Hi ladies, so I took my prenatal pill 1.5 to 2 hours ago. I attempted to eat something & of course I threw it right up smh. I noticed that I threw up some of the pill (if not all...I really don't know), should I take another one? I will be 8 weeks tomorrow & want to make sure the baby at least gets the pill since I cant even really eat. Should I take another one?

Thank you ladies! I think Im going to try to take it at night because I dont have to worry about eating & throw it up. The instructions say to take it with a full glass of water or and hour after I eat. I cant deal with throwing up food anymore! Im so miserable. Im hungry & I cant eat. I think Im gonna take one tonight before I go to bed, or just wait till tomorrow. & then keep taking them at night.

It won't hurt you or the baby to take another one so I would suggest that you do. Also, it may be easier for you to take them at night. That's what my doctor recommended. You shouldn't eat before bed so you wont have to worry about the food making you sick. Also, it is a possibility that the prenatal may upset your stomach so that can be avoided by taking it right before bed!

I wouldn't worry about it. One day will be ok, especially if your stomach is already upset the iron may make it worse.

I find it hard to take any pill. So I found some prenatal gummies. There really good and have everything that the pills have. Walmart has them. Good luck to you.

You should always eat before you take the pill.

No I didn't, but the pill doesnt make me sick. Ive done it up to now & Ive been fine. Its the food that I can't hold down. I should have waited a few more hours to try & eat. Ugh.
