Prenatal vitamins and nausea

smile255 · August 2015

Hi... Week 17 and still have pretty bad ms...was thinking it could be from prenatal vitamins at this point. Anyone else on preplus 27-1 or recommend any otc vitamins that have helped reduce their nausea?? Thanks!

New Chapter or Vitamin Code Raw both have a ginger complex that's supposed to help with nausea. I switched to the New Chapter prenatal because the Vitamin Code capsule scent made me gag haha. I did like the Vitamin Code vitamin better though, I believe my body absorbed more. Either way, they're both food based which means your body will digest them easier vs. lab created vitamins.

I started to take my prenatal at night because it was making me sick. I take it right before bed and I feel fine.

I find that taking mine after dinner helps. I tend to get nauseous if I take them on an empty stomach. Have you tried a gummy vitamin?

I think it depends on the person. I got sick on OTC vitamins (one a day brand) but when my dr put me on a prescription one (prenatal plus) it got much better.. until the pharmacy changed up the brand on me and I got sick again even though they swore its the same. I would try a few different ones and see what works for you. I try to take mine with some crackers even though the bottle says to try for an empty stomach.

Ugh, that's the worst! I use honest prenatals. They have ginger, and B6 and I haven't had ANY nausea!

I take mine right after dinner.....then lay down for a hour. It usually helps.

another vote for the gummy vitamin. I was taking honest company prenatals and they gave me such a horrible gag reflex I could barely get them down. I tried a few others from my sample bag but ended up on target brand gummies. they are so tasty I look forward to taking them each day!

I'm on a vitamin called Preg Vit (Canadian) it's two pills, one morning, one night. It splits up the vitamins so that it is less harsh on your stomach. But the morning one I have to take with orange juice or I do get a bit of a yucky tummy.

I usually take it after eating a smaller meal, and with cranberry or orange juice. The strong flavor of the juice helps mask the nasty vitamin flavor for me.

The prenatal vitamins used to kill me. Switching to gummies and taking them at night has made a huge difference.

This , when I take it in the AM I feel sick. After dinner has worked great.

I take mine before bed too. I was doing the gummy before I was switched to prenate mini. The gummy flavor was too much for me!

I take Rainbow Light and I LOVE it! I've never had nausea with it and I always got sick on my multivitamins. I take a DHA with it as well. I can take it with or without food. Love it!!!!

I started feeling better around week 12. Not sure if it's because that's when it usually starts to subside, or if it's because I switched to taking my vitamin at night. I take the one a day vitamins. Since taking them at night I haven't been nauseous nearly as often.
