prenatal vitamin apprehension

[cbwm1]

Just take it right before bed. That way, if you feel queasy you'll sleep through it.

Not stupid. I was the same way. I got the gummy ones with DHA because I'm a wuss when it comes to taking pills, and I never had a problem with feeling sick. I always took them in the a.m. after breakfast.

I would take them with at least a little food on your stomach. I did get sick every time I took them without eating.

Don't be nuts, it's a vitamin.

[Tacocat]

I've never had a problem taking them, even when I was in the queasy phase of 1st tri. I'd take them with a meal just to be on the safe side though.

The first kind I tried made me feel a little queasy so my doctor told me to try Flintstone vitamins. Those ended up working for me.

[melodramatic26]

its just a multi-vitamin w/ more folic acid. that's it. I take mine with food b/c that's how I take all my vitamins.

I used to take them all the time for healthier hair and nails. If you go into it looking for a negative reaction, you'll be more likely to find one. Just take it and go.

It's just like any other vitamin. Don't psyche yourself out.

[TemperanceBrennan]

I usually take them at night before I go to bed, but I have never had problems with them or feel sick from them.

Yes, they are similar to other multivitamins, so if you've taken other vitamins without any side effects, you shouldn't have any reason to fear PNVs.

I take mine at night, but that started in my first pregnancy when taking them in the morning only made my first trimester nausea worse. Now it's just become a habit for me to take them at bedtime, pregnant or not.

I also never had any issues with my prenatal before, during, or after pregnancy.

I hadn't even considered they might make me feel ill.

I'm resisting buying them because then it means we're serious about trying to have a baby and becomming responsible real adults and I'm not ready for that kind of a committment. Then I freak out and leave the store with nothing.

I do not feel ready for this.

We're TTC for the first time this cycle... and I'm like "I should probably start taking pre-natals, right?" So you're ahead of me! Feel good about that. LOL!

[iamgrace]

take them before you go to bed.

[cmh06]

I took the Target ones and never had a problem with them. I just took them with breakfast every morning. I started about 3 months before TTC.

[sewf]

Don't feel so bad about waiting. We weren't trying, so I didn't start taking them until I found out I'm pregnant, and my LO is kicking and healthy. I would go ahead and start, though, since you know you're going to be trying.

I take mine before bed. For some reason, the ones I had at first said to take them on an empty stomach (I think so that they would be absorbed into my stomach lining easier), so that's how I've always taken mine.

[verycontrary247]

We're not TTC for at least 4-5 more years and I take a prenatal every morning after breakfast. I've never had any adverse side effects.

[mudslide]

I've never felt sick from them. Take them before bed. It'll be fine.

[mkesweetie]

IMOAN! Congrats!

OP -- the ones I took at first made me feel sick. I am taking the Target brand gummies now and I don't have that problem at all.

I felt nauseated from them...I ended up with the gummy kind which I took with breakfast. That worked
