Does anyone else get sick after taking the prenatal vitamins. I feel like I'm gonna puke 20 minutes after taking them each day. I have not yet, but it is getting worse each day.

    Thankfully no, though they are super gross. I take them with a flavored beverage right after I eat generally.

    I take mine right before bed and they don't seem to bother me!

    Do you take them with food? If not you should try it. I take mine at night it seems to help.

    Taking them with orange juice helps absorb them as well.

    Mine don't make me sick, but the smell of them disgusts me.  And it's one of those smells I can taste.  I figured out the other day that the smell is the same as the dry food I feed my dog, YUCK!

    I do.  I keep telling myself to eat before I take it and I always forget until after and I feel like my head is about to fall off and spew everywhere.  So I totally understand.  I haven't thrown yet, but feel it's inevitable.  

    Come on 2nd tri...bring me some relief LOL

    You should ask your doctor for a different brand...that might help, it helped me.

    Regular prenatals made me sick last time around, so my Dr. told me I could take folic acid and a regular multi.  It really helped.

    Same here about 20 minutes after and I'm nauseaous.  I have thrown up twice from them.. Today my midwife gave me 5 different sample packs to try so hopefully one of those will work.

    I use the Target brand gummies. I had similar trouble with my non-pre-natal multivitamin so I stopped taking it. It hasn't happened yet with the prenatal yet, though.

    Yes.  Prenatals make me barf even more than I usually do.  Like my last pregnancy - I'm super sick already..   and I can barely choke down prenatals because I know itll take everything I have to keep them down. 

    Last preg - I finally resorted to flinstone vitamins.  Someone had suggested them to me.  If you double up the dose - cross check it against your prenatals and it has 99% of the same ingrediants - except the DHA that you get in some prenatals..    

    The plus side to them is that they're made for kiddos so they don't hurt your tummy.. and I was able to actually keep them down.. which is more nutrients than I was getting barfing up the prenatals.  

    I took flinestone gummies for most of my pregnancy with baby girl and she seems to be doing just fine.
