Try taking them at a time when you dont normally throw up...if there is a time. Or else try the flintstone vitamins...ive heard they stay down better in the begining.
I'm almost 8 weeks, and though I have had pretty bad nausea all day since 6 weeks, now I am actually starting to vomit at least 3 times a day.
I will try the Flintstones and see if that is better. TY!
oh i wouldnt try taking a second prenatal though...too much iron can be bad. And maybe when you hit the 2nd trimester you wont be as sick and go onto the prenatals at that point.
I am also 8 wks and just the smell of prenatals make me run to the toilet! I make sure to atleast take my extra folic acid. If you find any that stay down let me know too! thanks and good luck.
I heard that when some women get sick from their prenatals, the doctors will actually recommend you take Flintstone Vitamines. Maybe you should ask your doc if there is a substitute. Take care
My doctor actually said that pre-natal will make morning sickness worse and told me to take the Flintstone vitamins until I reached my second trimester. What also kinda helps is taking your pre-natals right before you go to sleep that way you dont feel sick and throw them up. If you do throw them up dont take another since like mamafessler said you might get too much of one vitamin.
Ok thanks! Just wondering what you should do when they come back up lol. I have been having bad morning sickness the last few days, but I guess that is a good sign then huh?
I am almost 7wks and I couldnt keep anthing down for almost 2 weeks!!!!! My appetite has picked up but I stopped taking them prenatals they do make me feel horrible
I am 8wks2days, and for all three pregnancies (2 previous mc) i had to take my prenatals at dinner time or else i threw them up! Try taking them while you are eating, with a full glass of water! That might help. Also, you should contact your doc about whether you should replace the vitamin you throw up.
I have tried taking them with food, but it still seems to bother me, I dunno I am just nauseated all day, seems to only give me a few minutes break hear and there lol.
do you keep saltines with you? The last few days I have been getting REALLY nauseated and thats the only thing thats SOMEWHAT helping...lol. Like tonight it has been pretty bad since about 530-6ish...and here im sitting on the couch with saltines and a bottle of water next to me..LOL maybe that would help?
I have tried that and gingerale, but it just seems to make more of a mess lol.
I always puked mine up if I took them on a pretty empty stomach. Try taking them at night with your dinner.
You can try eating foods with extra vit.'s in it too.....if you are able to keep them down...OJ has a good amt. of folic acid....banana's for potassium....i'm not sure what's staying down though...Just a though to tide you over until you can talk to your Doc....
This is what a nurse told my sis-in-law (she literally threw up every single day of her pregnancy and hardly kept the pills down). "It is better to get a little in than none at all!" Okay, not a direct quote, but the point was a little bit of what is absorbed is better than none at all.
Do not take a second pill. Soon you'll be over the nausea hump and it'll be easier to take the pills. Your doctor can prescribe a different prenatal vitamin (maybe smaller ones or ones that are sugar-coated).
I've also heard that when you're pregnant a sort of 6th sense takes over. And if you consume something harmful for baby, your body will expunge it naturally (throwing up, diarrhea, etc.). So maybe there is something in the pills that is causing your body to say "Hey wait a minute!!! This isn't good!" So ask your doc if he can give you different samples at the office and try them all out to find one that works for you.
I threw mine up so I started taking them at night when I went to bed,and I was fine
I read on a website that they actually have chewable prenatal vitamins for women who can't keep them down....talk to you doctor about those.
I am 8 weeks pregnant and i was just nausea in the morning, but now i am throwing up a lot... during night, day... whenever...what can i eat that won't upset my stomach? i know about the crackers... they come up with water too... help.

Hi. I'm 5 weeks into my first pregnancy and I am terrified of impending morning sickness. I havent told anyone at work (and dont plan to until after 12 weeks) and I'm afraid I'll be throwing up at work and it'll give me away. When did your morning sickness start, and is there time to run to the bathroom? What should my work game plan be?
Thanks! Heather
i take them right before i fall asleep maybe u can keep them down if u fall asleep a few minutes after you take them.
My Dr said that I could just continue taking my Womens One-a-Day and those were perfectly fine, I do take a couple extra folic acid pills but I have yet to have a problem getting sick off of them.
