There are so many different brands of prenatal vitamins the first type I took made me sick so I asked my ob for samples and found one that didn't make me sick. Make sure you are getting what the baby and your body needs if you decide to not to take them.

Flintstone gummy vitamins are good too. I take mine religiously, and I just found out I have low iron so I have to double up with an iron supplement as well now. If you don't take vitamins.... I would strongly suggest you eat LOTS of fruits/veggies/lean meats.

You can also take them right before bed.  I had to do that, I could only do the gummies so long and then they started getting yucky for me.

My doctor said most women get sick from prenatal pills! She told me to take 2 Flintstone vitamins a day instead . To be honest, most days I forget to take them.

Ask ur doc for other samples there are so many kinds! I forget randomly to take mine but I feel weird when I forget! I don't think I'd be able to just not take them!

I can't take prenatal vitamins. They make me very nauseous so I take Flintstone vitamins. And they don't make me sick at all. And they work just as good.

I don't take mine everyday because if I don't take it with a meal I get super sick.

Yep.  I took them every day for the first four months and had morning sickness all day and night.  So I stopped taking them and felt fine,  tried taking them again a few weeks ago and said screw it cuz the nausea came back
