prenatal vitamins? help please

I'm 16 weeks and haven't taken any prenatals since about 5-6 weeks because i couldn't keep them down. They made me extremely nauseous so my doctor told me to stop taking them till i could hold them down. I triedant two weeks ago and threw it up. What should i do? i eat very well, lots of vitamins enriched foods. Is my baby at risk? Do you take any prenatals that you can recommend? Please help ):

If you can keep them down, take them, no matter how many anecdotal tales you hear that someone didn't and their baby is fine.  You don't want to come away with anemia or other issues, and the more omega 3 the better, for the baby's brain development.  (Not to mention, folic acid, though its window of max effectiveness is before you are pregnant.)
