Word to the wise...never take your prenatals in the morning...

I woke up for work and realized I forgot to take my prenatals last night so I gulped them down while driving to work with some water. Well, after a little while I started to burp up a horrible fishy smell !!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't handle those kinds of smells right now....like I was standing in a fish market! It took me a second but I remembered the DHA pills are made of anchovies (sp). It says it right on the label. Ewww!! I threw up just from the smell ! I wasn't even nauseated today and I ate breakfast right when I got to work but it didn't help. Next time I'm just going to not worry about it and take it the next night as usual. Just a little heads up for yall.

    If I take mine on an empty stomach it is almost instantaneous throw up.  I take them in the am, but always with breakfast and that seems to help.

    I'm able to take mine in the morning, but I take it with breakfast so I think taking it with food helps.

    I always take mine right after I eat lunch and I never seem to have a problem with sickness from it. I can't even imagine taking them in the morning! Sorry you got sick!!

    I take mine after dinner. I haven't had a problem yet.

    I take my pills every morning before breakfast and have not had a problem.  Everyone is different and has different tolerances. Also, if you don't like the fishy taste, just take a non-fish based DHA like Expecta.

    I've not had an issue with mine yet, but it says on the bottle to take with food and I absolutely always take mine with food so maybe thats why. And i'm not into the m/s stage yet so I'm sure that helps a little too...

    I think it depends ont he prenatal pill. My recommendation is to talk to your doc about that. One thing for sure you can not take it on an empty stomach. I like my pills, it helps me poop too even though I am a regular..LOL

    I always take my prenatal in the morning.  I take it on an empty stomach with juice and take my DHA pill in the evening after dinner.
