Vitamin woes

CountingUp

I tried a new brand of prenatal vitamins today as I found my old brand to be a little smelly with a bad after-taste.

 20 min after taking it I puked, a lot. The most I've puked the past 14 weeks! SO here's my question - would you just skip vitamins for today? take the other brand? just take a folic acid and vitamin d and call it a day?

 Sigh.

Take a multivitamin for women and then extra iron.

I've skipped one now and then, usually if I can't remember whether I took it or not and it turns out not.  You'd be fine if you skipped a day, I think.

Oh my gosh.. I was so good my last pregnancy, but this pregnancy I have forgotten way too many times to remember.. baby is doing fine...I just can't remember to take them when I'm trhying to get out the door in the am with my 18 month old.  So I'd say SKIP it...give your body a break since you puked.

I would skip. In the beginning, I could only keep vitamins down if I had them with some OJ.

my prenatals made me so sick in my 1st trimester.  i swapped to chewable flintstones.  then the smell of those made me sick (i am cursed) so i went to the gummy flintstones (3 a day).  WAY easier on the tummy for sure, they don't stink and i don't have to drink them down with anything. plus, i space them out if i feel icky. 

I have a sticky note on the inside of my front door:

ID
Cell
Meds (Magnesium and Iron)
Vitamins

It helps.

i would call the doctor and see what he/she says.  did you take it with food? skipping a day is fine though.  i ended up trying 3 different pre-natals before finding one that didn't make me want to puke.  maybe the doctor has some samples too....

Try the Vitafusion gummy ones.  I get mine at Target, they're in with the regular vitamins.  MUCH easier to take!

I take those too!  I have a very hard time swallowing large pills and the chewables have been wonderful.  The only downside to them is, they contain no iron, so you may want to suppliment.
