prenatal vitamins

I've been super sick and I'm 17 weeks. I stopped my prenatal vitamins and feel guilty but can't get myself to start again. Is this bad?

I stopped taking mine at 12 weeks. Doctor told me to stop.. you and baby should be fine as long as you eat healthy and take care of yourself

One of my friends couldn't keep down a prenatal when she was pregnant. Her doctor told her she could take two flinstone chewable vitamins until she was able to handle swolloing/keeping down the prenatals when she was less sick.

My sister would get so sick from prenatals that she stopped taking them as well, but she stared taking a regular woman's daily vitamin and the baby came out fine (:

Also I couldn't take the pill form, they were making me sick!! So I switched to gummies and haven't had a problem (: good luck!

Have you talked to your ob? I was really sick too and mine put me on diclegis and I take my prenatals at night with the medication. It took about a week for it to work but now I never get sick unless I forget to take it. I've been taking it since I was about 12 weeks and on Monday I'll be 24 weeks.
