They give me horrible heartburn. So I haven't taken them since my second refill and I'm now 35 weeks with a large baby lol.

I had to stop until later in my pregnancy. I asked my doctor for any samples of prescription vitamins and tried them until I found one that didn't make me sick. Earlier in my pregnancy, I would drink Carnation Breakfast Essential milkshakes to give me some vitamins. Good luck!

I was taking gummy vitamins and they didn't have iron in them. Well when I did my glucose test I found out I was anemic, so I started taking vitamins with iron and an additional iron supplement. As long as your getting all your nutrients through food you should be OK. Just have to really watch what your eating.
