Prenatal Vitamins.

Anyone else feeling sick because of prenatal vitamins? I'm about 11 weeks and everytime I take them, I feel completely sick to my stomach. Maybe it's because I'm so young? I'm not sure. My doctor's appointment is Monday so I'll be able to talk to the doctor, hopefully.

I've been throwing up everyday from them for the past couple weeks. My doctor told me to stop taking them for a couple days and see what happens and then she says she most likely recommends I start on gummy vitamins and that most woman have to switch in the second trimester to gummies!

Thanks, everyone. I've tried taking them in the morning and at night. Neither works.. I still end up feeling sick to my stomach. Its only when I take it as well. Thankfully, no morning sickness so that's a plus. I just went out and bought the gummies. I'm gonna try those and see how they work! Does anyone think it's because of how young I am? Could that also be a factor? I'm 16.

Prenatal vitamins had me so sick I almost ended up in the hospital for dehydration cause I could not keep anything down. As soon as I switched to just regular gummu vitamins and a iron pill I was SO much better!

I took the gummies for a while and they also made me sick. If this happens, try taking them with a lil milk. I'm fine now at 18&2. Good luck momma

It could also just be morning sickness.
Make sure you take them after you eat

Try switching to the gummy ones... I couldnt take the regular ones because the iron in them was too harsh in my stomach... the gummy ones dont have iron and are much gentler-- and taste pretty good too... with my 1st daughter they didnt have gummies so my doctor told me to take the Flintstone chewable vitamins-- 2 a day
