1st Trimester

Prenatals all of a sudden makes me sick

I've been taking prenatal vitamins for about 3 months. I'm 6 weeks pregnant. I take vitamins with food. I've taken it different times of the day. Can anyone tell me why all of a sudden they are making me sick.

  • It's just so odd, they are the same ones I used when I was pregnant with DS1, and had no morning sickness with my first one. So you think it has to do with morning sickness

  • Ditto. But if I take the prenatals with milk I am fine..or orange juice. I don't know why. But I don't get nauseas anymore :) If I take it with water, I am screwed!
  • They used to make me sick too. I would take them before bed, and I never had a problem again.

  • Try a food based one. I get mine from sprouts. More gentle on the belly. At least they were for me.

  • Could be morning sickness.

    Sometimes being too hungry (empty) or too full can trigger it. When I had ms I took a gummy PNV so there was chewing involved. I also took them at night with some buttered toast.

  • I have a bottle of plain folic acid tablets to take just in case this happens to me. It's better than nothing!
  • Try taking them with milk or at a different time of day. If that doesn't work, try a new brand.

    I took mine for months pre pregnancy and then during my first before my mmc, and then at about 6 or 7 weeks into this pregnancy they made me so sick I stopped taking them.

  • I consulted with my doctor about the same thing. I now take prenatal gummies without iron and i havent been sick since. My doc recommended i go back to ones with iron in the second trimester.
  • My doctor told me that The flintstones children's chewable vitamins have just as much folic acid as prenatals and for some reason they don't seem to make mamas feel sick! 

  • It's your vitamins. But a plant based one. Go to Target and buy Rainbow Light Prenatal One. They won't make you sick.

  • I can't take pills right now without throwing up, so I switched to chewables. I have horrible m/s and it dosnt effect it at all!
