Vitamins?

I feel like my vitamins and prenatals are making me nauseous and have headaches. All i wana do is sleep to forget. Dr gave me calcium 2 a day, ferrous sulfate for iron deficiency 3 a day,laxative pill,  folic acid 3 a day, fish oil pills 3 a day... isnt too much iron bad for you? And i thought this was soo much. Iam 8 wks pregnant not knowing what to expect (my first child) iam 31yrs old. Omg my breasts are so tender and i have implants too. They feel so hard. Does anyone have this problem?

Vitafol Fe is what I was prescribed but that's because I'm anemic. But there are plenty of them out there and mine gave me samples of 4-5 to see which one worked best.

My vitamins made me really nauseous with my first pregnancy, I just switched to taking them right before bed, instead of in the morning. Helped A LOT, good luck!

I switched to liquid iron supplement as the iron tablets made me feel ill, and constipated

I was the same way. Then my doctor put me on a prescription prenatal and I take it before bed. No more sickness for me.
