If you are taking a DHA supplement...

does it make you really nauseas? I take the Women's One a Day prenatal vitamins, and it includes a DHA supplement. I don't always take it though because most of the time I end up puking it  up anyway. I don't have a problem with the regular vitamin though, so I don't know what it is about the DHA supplement.

I take the enfamil one, and it has never made me sick. Maybe you should try that one.

Yep!  I was on a regular one before getting pregnant and when I confirmed I was with the doctor, he prescribed me the ones with DHA and they definitely made me nauseas--sometimes I feel like I can taste fish in my mouth an hour after taking them if I didn't take it with enough food/water. ick!

That would make sense, maybe its the fish oil that doesn't agree with my stomach.

I take the One-A-Day as well.  It is known that the DHA supplements can make you feel queasy and sometimes I get sick of these as well.  I take mine at night before I go to bed so that way I am hopefully sleeping when it finally starts to dissolve and I am asleep during the time I would normally be sick from it.

I take Renate DHA Extra (it's one of the few generics that include DHA) and it's not made me sick yet.  I never knew that some people got sick from it.

i took the target brand ones and now i have the ones from sam's club...i threw up once from the target ones, but thats because i took it before i had eaten anything. since then i've had no problems

chris&michele

The Womens one a day make me nauseas whether I take the DHA or not, I had to switch brands.

I take Expecta with food. My OB said to take 2 because 1 doesn't have enough for the day and to make sure I take them separately than the prenatals because it can block the absorption of some vitamins.

And I should  add that there's no fishy aftertaste as it's not made from fish oil and it does not make me nauseous.

I am taking the One-A-Day now and I have taken the Target ones too. They both make me extremely nauseous if I am at all hungry. I have started taking them right after I eat dinner and it made a huge difference. Try taking them with food and see if that helps.

I take fish oil. Doesn't make me sick at all.  I did see a kids DHA gummy supplement at Costco and Target. Maybe these are more tolerable.

I take PreNexa, it has DHA in it.  I always take it at night before bed so it doesn't make me nauseous.
