Whos taking Flintstone vitamins, what kind and are you taking any other supplment with the flintstone. I am asking because I am having a hard time with my prescribed prenatal pills and dont want to spend another $30 for more that can upset my stomach. And i dont see the doctor for another 2 weeks to be able to get samples instead.

    I was taking two gummies at night but I have switched to one chewable b/c the gummie flavor was starting to get to me.  I also take a folic acid supplement since the flintsontes don't have enough.

    I think I am going to try the flinstones too.  I can't seem to keep down the prescribed vitamins and they are so big that when I swallow them I gag and it's just an icky mess.  My gag reflexes suck right now.  So I am also going to pick up some flinstones today.

    I just switched to Flinstones, my regular PNVs started making me really sick in the past couple of weeks.

    I take 2 Flinstones complete, it gives you the same amount of Folic Acid, Iron, Vitamin C, etc. as a PNV - you can find a bottle with 200 for about $10-12 at Costco.

    My dr told me to take 1 flinstone & 400mg of folic acid. 2 flinstones have too much vitamin A.

    I am actually taking the PNV that the OB prescribed to me and I have not had one morning sickness. I am not sure where in MI you live but Meijer stores are doing a FREE PNV program and they have everything you need in them!! Check into it...

    I used to... before talking to my acupuncturist. ?She told me to look at the label... they contain Aspartame and other yucky ingredients! ?Ask your dr. for a chewable prenatal. ?I take Select-OB (chew or swallow) and they taste like blueberry.

    I was getting sick too, my dr told me to take them right before bed and you wont even notice anything.

    worked for my mom and sister too.

    I am.  My Dr said not to take hte flintstone completes - just to take the regualr (or the ones with extra vitamin C).  She said to take 2-3 per day.  It's made a world of difference with my sickness.  I take PNVs even when I am not pg, so I was shocked when that was the cause of my sickness!
