I got really really sick from taking the prenatals they prescribed to me because all they had in them was a lot of iron. And I already had a good intake of iron so it Turns out they gave me iron poisoning. So I switched to the gummy vitamins that don't have a lot of iron in them and what do you know I wasn't sick anymore.

Have you tried the gummy vitamins, they're the only ones i can take. Just have to watch.iron levels, bc gummies don't have iron. Dr will test iron twice during pregnancy, unless you're anemic. I get enough from my diet, that gummies have been fine my whole pregnancy.

Spring valley gummies at Wal-Mart are good.

I'm about 8 weeks and having the same problem. I think the amount of Iron in them is too high. I'm asking my doctor about switching to one with less iron and trying to get it mostly from my diet. Alwaystake the vvitamins with food though. Otherwise it'll be worse.

I felt the same way, I was always nauseous when I took the prenatals I tried drinking milk and even taking them at night, nothing worked! I asked my doctor and he told me a few girls in his group felt the same way and started buying over the counter gummies with DHA, way better solution! Always ask your doctor first though.

I take the vitamins prenatal plus.... they are ones without fish oil and once I switched to these they stopped making me sick. ... I also take them before bed. ... but that's because I keep them right near my bed so i remember. ...  congrats :)

I was the same way. I take em before bed and that helped me :)

Try different brands. The walmart generic don't make me sick. Or you crush up the pill and put in your food. My sister in law does that.hope it helps.

I had the same problem. I take prescription prenataland they have dha in them.. OMG they are gross. I was getting sick like crazy when i took them. My Dr told me to start taking them at night with a meal. Well I've found that chocolate milk works. So i take them on a full stomach with my chocolate milk and i haven't had any problems.

i recommend u still take ur prenatals. those r important. advice wuld be to tlk to ur doctor bout the prenatals nd ask if folic acid wuld be a better substitute. eat small meals throughout the day. dont overfill urself. rest, nd drink plently of water.
