Prenatal Vitamins???

I've been taking Rainbow Light Prenatal vitamins.  I noticed today, that my urine is neon yellow, tint of green, Sorry TMI.  Embarrassed Also, I've been experiencing headaches.  Can this be the cause of the prenatal vitamins???

Which is the best brand to use?   TIA

Re: Prenatal Vitamins???

  • When we first started TTC and I started to take them I noticed headaches as well. My dr told me that it could the iron in them and said to take them with food. Im not sure if you are already doing that, but if not, it might help. I hope you find something that works for you!

  • I've been taking Rainbow Light for about a year now.  I believe the neon yellow comes from the B vitamins.  I think you can expect that in any prenatal.  Not sure about the headaches, but Rainbow light is the only prenatal that didn't upset my stomach.  Sorry, I'm not much help.

  • The neon yellow urine is just your body breaking down the water soluble vitamins in the prenatal.  If you aren't hydrated enough it will be darker/more neon in color.  I would guess that if it is so dark you are worrying that you may need to drink more water and less caffeine, if you drink caffeine, since it dehydrates you.  I notice a distinctively darker neon color when I am less hydrated which is why I mention that.

    FWIW, I use CitraNatal Assure.  I really like them.

  • So my DH likes to make fun of me because I have tried EVERY prenatal out there in the past 17 months. I tried the Rainbow and they bothered my stomach. Finally my RE called in a gel cap Prenatal with DHA and a stool softner. It is heaven in a little pill! I love it and have been taking it for 2 weeks with no problem.

    Maybe call your RE and ask for them to prescribe a gelcap with a stool softner. You will be happy you did =)

  • Thank you ladies so much.  I'm going to try to stay on them for another week and see if the headaches get better with drinking more water and eating before taking it.  Thanks again!!!

  • i originally was tkaing the GNC prenatal, and if i didn't have *plenty* of food on my stomach i would be soooo nauseous. and it also made my urine like yours - yellow-green neon. and it would smell. yuck.

    now i'm on naturemade prenatal and i love it. no issues at all. it's also fewer pills (gnc was 1 pill 2x/day, this one is once daily).

    you might want to try a new brand!

  • I also take Rainbow Lights and have noticed these side effects, though I don't attribute the headaches to them.  If you think they are making you sick, either ask your RE or just switch to something else.  I take them because I haven't found any other ones that I think are better, and they don't upset my sensitive stomach.  GL!
