Im soo scared because like every other day when i take my prenatal vitamins which are the gummies so i have to take two a day I throw up in the process of swallowing the first one:/ and then i cant take them that day. I tried to buy pills but when i opened them and realised they were huge i knew they werent gonna be any easier. So what do i do? Im so scared my babys not getting anything good for it cause i can barely hold down food either. Will something happen to my baby?:(

    Omg were in the same situation! I eat and take my pills and then i just go and throw up everything i had just eaten. I guess were just gonna have to keep on changing pills till we get one right meanwhile im eating alot of cereal milk orange juice yogurt stuff like that

    I had the same problem and my dr told me that taking 2 chewy kids vitamins a day was equal to 1 prenatal :)

    Prenatal vitamins that are too big can usually be broken in half or thirds to help with swallowing...

    My doc has me on the gummy vitamins he claims that their better than using kid vitamins. Their @ walmart plus they taste great! Reminds me of sour gummy worms

    I got sick with every vitamin I took with my first two pregnancies and so ended up not taking them. With this one, I've been able to keep them down, but my first two kids were fine. Just make sure you are eating a lot of nutrient rich foods.

    I had the same problem but found out I wasn't eating enough before taking them ...try to eat enough

    Ginger candy helps with nasuea ( I think that how its spelled lol ) try to eat it as soon as you take the prenatals. Ginger is suppose to be gentle on our stomaches

    I take nature made pre nats and they r tiny, not like other horse pills and they are made to not upset your tummy. Love em!

    If you cant keep the prenatals down during early pregnancy atleast make sure you take 4-600 mg of folic acid for embryo development, you can find that separately in pill form in most pharmacy or drug stores. I had a terrible time keeping the regular pv's down during my first pregnancy so my doc recommended taking 2 flinstones instead. During my second pregnancy found targets up & up brand prenatals were easy on my stomach...taking them again during my third with no complaints. Plus they come with 400 tablets for around 10$...can't beat that!
