M/S and Prenatals

AprilCachet · November 2009

Hey ladies I just wanted your opinion before I called the doctor. I have been on the same prenantal vitamin since way before we were pregnant. I have never had issues with it and when I got my BFP I still had no issues with the prenatal.

Over the last week I noticed I developed morning sickness and then realized it was more so around when I took the vitamins. So I am not sure if the vitamin is suddenly making me sick or if I am just now dealing with morning sickness 11 weeks into pregnancy.

WDYT? would you ask for a new prenatal? or would you chalk it up to morning sickness? and if I am throwing up all the time is my body really getting the supplements in the vitamins? Thanks for your help

Try taking your vitamin at night and see if there is a difference. I would say it's just m/s. I had to start taking mine at night because it was so bad.

This and my dr also said to not take on an empty stomach. GL.

You could take your prenatal at night, or break it in half and take 1/2 in the am and 1/2 in the pm. OR You could take 2 children's chewables, or even a regular multi-vitamin with supplemental folic acid.

I'd try taking your vitamins mid meal during dinner, sometimes if your stomach isn't full enough during the morning! Goodluck!

I've always taken mine at night. I actually feel pretty good first thing in the morning but then slowly start to feel worse as the day progresses. I think it's bc my prenatals actually make me feel better (weird!) then start to wear off by mid-afternoon. Good luck! xoxo

You could skip it one day and see if that's the culprit. You are past the crucial folic acid window.

I had this same problem. I started taking them at night and that didn't work either. I am going to tak to my doc about it at my appt next week but it sucks. There are days when I forget to take it during the day and I feel fine but once I take it at night I feel horrible.
