vitamins

I Hate any kind of prenatal vitamin it makes me sick just thinking about taking them... I know my baby needs them but I can't keep them down.  What should I do about this? Anyone else with this problem I'm only 9w+4d .. yesterday I had these little baby cramps.. more like strong pain than cramps but I felt so bad like my baby was hurting because of it. I just don't know what to do .. all I know is I want a strong healthy baby boy or girl

Take them at night before u go to bed. That's what I do. I can't take the during the day they make me sick too. Put juice or milk in ur mouth drop the pill in swallow it and ur good to go.

The vitamins use to make me feel sick earlier in my pregnancy. It helped me to eat a few crackers before I took it so I had something on my stomach.

I'm 34 weeks and I suck at taking them, but I'm anemic so I've been taking the flinstones. I agree they are all nasty, even the gummies.

Maybe try the chocolate ones?

If you can try fruit and vegetable smoothies or like a V8. That way you can get the essential vitamins and minerals that way. But check with your doctor first.

Im 6weeks and I know the feeling iv tried pretty much all kinds of prenatal vitamins and all make me sick. Try eating something small right before you go to bed at night and take it then. Hopefully you'll fall asleep before the nausea kicks in. Thats what I do and rarely do I walk up and vomit but unfortunately it happens sometimes

I take vitafusion prenatal vitamins. I love my gummies they have them on sale sometimes at rite aid cvs and Walgreen If those don't work you would need to make sure your diet it's giving a butt loads of folic acid which would probably difficult but worth it.
