With my first daughter I did not take prenatal vitmans they made me so sick. Now with baby number 2 the same they are making me so sick I don't know what todo. Any suggestions?
You can try different brands. Are you sure it's the vitamins? Maybe you just have nausea? My doctor said take the prenatals at night, with a small food. Also vit B6 is supposed to help, or your doctor can prescribe an anti nausea medication--that helped me a lot!
I really liked taking the vitamins with the dha capsule,and I also took it in the evening or at bedtime. Try some milk with it, like chocolate milk, it will hopefully help soothe your belly! I worked in a pharmacy and there were some women who just couldn't tolerate the prentals, so they would actually take a flinstones chewable!
So many foods have nutrients & you can use your blender to make up some delish drinks/smoothies, etc.. Your Doc can have blood work done to determine if you are lacking in some vitamins that could be, 'upped' with this food/veggie/dairy/fruit naturally...as long as your lab results stay good just keep eating good & take in the extra nutrition as I have mentioned...being sick is not what your baby or your Doc wants you to be while you are PG!
Congrats! ;)
Take them at night with a small snack. With my first, I had the same issue and when I started taking them at night I didn't have any problems.
are you taking with food? that helped me, maybe ask your doc, they may be able to suggest/prescribe something gentler on your tummy!
What helped for me was to take my prenatal vitamins right before bedtime. If I took them in the morning I felt sick all day long.
