anyone on iron pills or calcium

I was recently prescribed to take more iron pills and calcium with vitamin d supplements. The problem is I'm almost positive they make me feel nauseous. I've went this pregnancy without morning sickness and all of a sudden have it. I'm supposed to be gaining weight, and puking isn't going to help. Has anyone taken either and felt the same way? What helped you?

Try to take them with nothing on your stomach. I take my iron with orange juice in the mornings right after I wake up . It really helps (:

I never did sorry but they made me sick the whole time. What about trying a different brand which I probably should have.

That's the thing I do! I take them right after dinner and go to bed maybe 30 minutes later. Maybe my body needs to get used to them or something..
