Is anyone else having problems with taking prenatal vitamins?  I am extremely constipated and getting really bad gas pains.  Any advice?

Try nature made we ith DHA.  No smell or taste. They are soft gel prenatals. I like them.  Im am too constipated but I just take a stool softner and hope for the best.

No I don't take any other meds. I have read about the chewable prenatal tabs and I was going to mention them at my appointment next week.  I have just been miserable and today the pain was so bad I could barely breathe. Thanks everyone

I have to really force mine down because I'm always sick to my stomach. And they just don't taste all that well anymore

Do you take any other medications? I also have hypothyroidism and my thyroid meds react badly if taken with anything else... I have to take those on an empty stomach first thing in the morning so I take my prenatal vitamins after dinner. It helps a lot.
