Prenatal vitamins

Lcrase06

So I started taking prenatal vitamins this week and I'm on my 3rd day.  I took my 1st one at night time and then I didnt take one the 2 day, but the past 2 days I have been taking them in the morning after I eat breakfast.  I have been so nauseated and haven't wanted to eat.  It's coming and going in spurts, but every time I feel like I need to burp I feel like I'm gonna get sick.  Have vitamins made anyone else sick?  Is this a common side effect of them?

It is common for vitamins to make you sick.  I always take mine at night when I go to bed.  I put them by the toothpaste so I'll remember when I brush my teeth.

Yep when I first started taking mine I was taking them in the morning and they made me nauseated.  So I switched to taking them at night and no more nausea.  I just leave them on my bathroom counter so I'll remember them.

Try taking them at night. That is what I do.

If it helps, take them with food. That's what I had to do.

I also had to switch from prescription to OTC because I couldn't stomach them.

I have never had an stomach problems with the Target brand PNVs.  I have heard of some Rx PNVs making people feel sick. I would try taking them at night like pps said. If not look into changing. Good luck.

I was taking a OTC vitamin, and now I am trying all different kinds from my obgyn...(she literally gave my a sack full of different kinds), but I liked Neevo (I think that's what they were called, I did have several different kinds that were called Neevo, but I didn't burp them up later, but they were an RX (but so much more expensive than OTC ones).  I know how you feel though, I am testing different ones right now.

I had that problem when I was pregnant with K.  It didn't matter what time of day I took them or what I took with them.  (It really could have just been the constant nausea I had for 18 weeks and not the pills)  But regular vitamins do it to me even when I'm not pregnant so I dunno. 

I got some PNV at Walmart the other day and they actually don't make me feel sick.  I'm still a little shocked at that.  So maybe try out a different brand?

Also...I want to say I heard taking them with milk can help.  I could be totally wrong...but couldn't hurt
