  • I think you just stick to the regular schedule. No need to double up. It's okay.
  • You don't have to double up.
  • I wouldn't double up to much can hurt you...I ended up with kidney stones off the regular dose and had to go to Flintstones.
  • Ok...I just wanted to make sure..smh
  • dont double up
  • I was just happy to open your post and not see someone saying they never take their prenatals. Whew!
  • I ended up w a kidney stone too due to the vitamins so the Dr told me to take them every other day. He had to replace my kidney stent so he told me to discontinue the vitamins since the stent had calcification. Now I am on frolic acid & kid Flintstones
  • I had to stop taking mines , they made me really sick ! :0&
  • They say don't double up. If you miss it you will be ok.
  • I agree @blueberrysmom.... I thought it was that kind of post too... I have forgotten to take it a few times, but I don't double up
  • @cute_pebbles I had the same problem, so I took half a pill early in my pregnancy so my body could adjust to it. Then into my 3rd month I took a whole one. My doctor said it was better than not taking it at all. How far along are you?
  • Im 22 weeks , and I try to take them they are hust horrible , plus im really small . 99 pounds , an my doc diesnt want me lose weight
  • @cute_pebbles you can buy different ones at the store.
  • Are they all okay?

    @cute_pebbles yeah there are a variety of over the counter ones. My doctor even suggested taking the flinstones vitamins and folic acid supplements if I couldn't handle the prenatal multivitamin. I'm also small so I totally understand. Good luck!
  • Don't double up its fine to miss a day. You shouldn't miss but if you forget or something its okay :)
