I am 10 weeks pregnant now & I have been taking my prenates for about 3 moths now! Well I forgot to take my prenates a couple nights ago & found that I felt better the next day! Someday are so much worse than others but the day I forgot I felt alot better! Did anyone else experience this? I've talk to alot of people that have kids & said the same thing & they stop taking them because they made them so sick! Any sugg from anyone? I know I should call my Dr but I know all he'll say is to keep taking them!! I was never able to take vitiams before I was preg either cuz they made me sick!!! Thanks

Please do not stop taking your prenatal vitamins. Your baby needs folic acid, especially during 1st trimester when their spinal cords are in development. You can talk to your doctor about trying a different one. I did not tolerate vitamins well with my 1st preganancy, but did eventually find one that I tolerate well now. :)

Stacy, I pmed you as well. I had a very good midwife who helped me and didn't "punish" me for not liking mine, I just sent you some advice and answers she gave me. HTH!!!

I forgot to tell you to pm me back if you have any questions! :)

Yes, the prenates I was prescribed with my DD made me feel icky. I absolutley could not take them on an empty stomach. They didn't bother me after about 16-17 weeks.

Call your doctor and tell him what you said here. Ask him if you can try another. Some doctors will advise taking two Flintstones if you can't tolerate the prenates, BUT you need to discuss this with your physician. Some of our local OB/Gyns don't even prescribe the vitamins to all women. I wasn't prescribed any prenates with my last pregnancy. But again, discuss this with your doctor.
