Does the prenatal pills make anyone sick?

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
For some reason my prenatal pills make me sick. I feel hot and like I want to throw up. Is this normal?

  • It happens to me
  • Yeah its normal for some people. I had to stop taking them bc I got sick every time. I even tried cutting them in half n taking it in the morning and night. Didn't work. My midwife said I can just take children's Flintstones vitamins or even gummy ones n it will work the same. Just gotta take 2 a day.
  • When I first started taking them they made me really sick. It was horrible, but my body got used to them and now I have no problems. My boss is preggo too and her dr took her off them cause they were making her sick. If it doesn't get better in a week or so, I would call the dr and just ask about alternatives. There are other types of vitamins you can take. :)
  • Meee too...i got these new ones at Target, gummy prenatal vit. N I love them, they taste great n are nothing like those nasty pills that smell n make us sick! My dr said they are fine, oh but a lil bit priceyer than others.
  • They do make me a little sick so I started taking them before I went to sleep and now its all good:)
  • Take them at night right before bed. Plus u can digest them while asleep
  • Plz stop takin them cuz the make nauseous jus take kids firestone wit iron

    I got prescription ones from my doc that i am able to tolerate. They are expensive if your insurance doesn't pay for them... thankfully mine did
  • Its not the iron that's really important its the folic acid that is. It helps prevent birth defects. So I wouldn't suggest not taking them but if you do research which foods you can eat that you will get folic acid from.
  • Mine were making me sick when I took them in the morning. So I started taking them at bedtime and haven't had any more issues.
