prenatal vitamins

I am 15 weeks and started having trouble taking my vitamins. I get nauseous and usually end up vomiting after I take them. Is there anything that might help with the nausea? Maybe switching vitamin brands? Or eating certain foods?

If you have good insurance see if your dr. willl prescribe Nexa Plus Prenatal vitamins for you. They have DHA in them and a vanilla coating on them. No after taste or anything. You should be able to also get a $30 coupon on the Nexa plus website. If not, you can take Flintstone Complete Vitamin (or generic brand) along with separate folic acid 800 mcg that you can find at most stores like walmart, cvs, walgreens, etc. Before my about the Nexa plus, she said it was perfectly fine to take Flintstone vitamins as long as I was getting the extra folic acid I needed.

I have to always eat when I take mine but I only eat a snack like enough to tie me over until I can be sure that my tummy is okay with it.
This is of course after I manage to get past my horrific gag reflex/nerves about swallowing any pill larger than birth control. I skip my pills a lot because I've choked on prenatals before and it made my nerves worse. My first was born perfectly healthy at 8 lbs 4 oz and this one is right on track.
