Also never take any vitamins on an empty stomach I take mine after lunch. (Just in case lol). And taking two Flintstones to get all the folic acid you need just about doubles the iron you need so say hello to constipation. :-( been there done that last pregnancy. Trust me try the nature made liquids they are wonderful :-)

I can't even take regular vitamins when im not pregnant tear my stomach up and make me puke. Literally! My favorite that I found work for me and don't make me the least nauseous is the nature made prenatal liquid gels with dha and omega-3. The key is they are liquid gels not solids so they are 10x easier on your stomach to digest! :-) they are over the counter. They are ranked in the top 10 of prenatal vitamins (after a bunch of expensive organic ones.) Lol And they aren't terribly expensive. I get them at local grocery where I shop for about 20$ for a 3 month supply.

I take my prenatal vitamin before bed. Idk why. I think it's because I know I absolutely will be eating dinner every night even if I don't have any other meals, and if my stomach does get upset, I'll be asleep when it does, so I won't know. Always eat a little something right before or after taking your vitamin because it can upset some ppl's stomach.

I would try an over the counter prenatal that also has dha in it. I got so sick taking the prenatals the doctor prescribed me so I started taking the one a day vitamins and they have been a million times better. Trust me you are going to need the vitamins, especially as you get farther along!
