Prenatal Vitamins

Anonymous
I tried servel prenatal vitamins including Flentstones and they all made me sick. I can not even take calcium pills that also make me sick. Just wondering if anyone has the same symptoms. If so, did you take any prenantal vitamis that did not make you sick.

I experienced the same problems. My OB put me on DuetDHA, which has an iron supplement to help with tolerability issues. Since changing to this brand and taking it before I go to bed, I am fine.

Good luck!

I also took DuetDHA, but could only tolerate it if I took it before bed (which is what they recommend I think). Otherwise, I kept burping up the fish oil and it tasted gross - blech!

If you are in your first trimester, you can take just a folic acid supplement, and worry about the rest of it later.

I had problems with mine too until I started taking it before bed at night instead of in the morning.

Has anyone tried OB Select?

I take chewable and for some reason it stays down easier.

I vomited up every prenatal vitamin under the sun with my first DC. Flintstone made me throw up too. I tried gummy vitamins and they worked like a champ. I got them at Whole Foods. You have to take 2 or 3 to get enough folic acid.
