  • Prenatal vitamins make me sick. I love the taste of flinstone vitamins though and hope they do the trick.

  • I've  heard of that happening but it's always been by doctors approval.  You should ask your doctor about it first.

  • As long as your doctor ok's it. Mine suggested it because the prenatals made me sick to my stomach
  • Yes. My OB suggested it if I got nauseous from the prenatals.

    I found that taking the prenatals at night with dinner and milk seemed to help.

  • That's what I took last pregnancy and this one. FWIW the Little Critter's brand Gummi Vites have more Folic Acid then the Flinstones.

  • I was out of town and forgot my prenatal rx and I called Dr. They said 2 flinstones
  • My dr. said it's absolutely fine, and is what I am doing. She did say that I should take in the morning and one in the evening, and not to take them at the same time.

  • I have a really hard time swallowing the prenatals and I actually found chewable prenatal vitamins at Target.  They are gummie and taste really good, almost like candy.

    REALLY?!  I have always hated taking pills and PNV are not going down easy.  I will have to look into these.
