Stupid Vitamins, Burn in HELL!!

My freaking Prenatals have decided to start giving me headaches...WTF?

the other day i accidently took two and had a headache for days....and last night i took my prenatal in the morning and then took my iron at night and as soon as i popped that iron my head started hurting!


This is normal, Right?
(please reply)

Mine made me WAY sick! My dr reccomened that I take Flinstone Vitamins, so I took the Gummi onesand everything turned out fine.
I was also taking Expectra (the DHA and ARA supplement)

I didn't get headachs just super sick and dizzy so 5 prescripions later i am now taking flintstone gummy vitamins per my dr

It wouldnt hurt. They basiacally have the same things in them, you just have to take double the dose, I was eating 6 Gummis a day.

So can you take the Flintstones instead of prenatals? lol Because someone told me you could, since I was complaining about my prenatals and how I couldnt take em because they were so big and I thought Id choke and die =].
And I really would love to hear that I could take those instead lol

Lol sorry I didnt read the last few posts. Im so happy!! Lol..and I usually feel really bad when I skip days, like Im hurting my son..its just such a process of taking mine! If I attempt to swallow em, once I finally get em down 7 years later, I feel like Im gonna throw up! And when I grind em up and drink em with something, I get a queasy feeling because I drank the drink so fast to get it all down..=[
But I could DEFINITELY get down with the gummy vitamins lol

lol...you can also try cutting them in half...my sister has this little pill cutter thing and its weird...but it works....but im with you, i would definatly rather take the Flinstone ones haha

Halves, fourths..nothing works. I used to be so good at swallowing pills, til I got pregnant. I have THE WORST allergies in the springtime, and I pretty much died the first few weeks because I couldnt cut my Claritin lol. I started smashing em into like powder and putting em in my drink.
But theres no turning back now, you ladies told me I could take Flintstones and thats that!!! Lmao

It's usually the iron in the pills that screws with you (headaches, and can make m/s worse). See if you can do without the extra iron, or like the girls said just stick with Fred and Barney...  

Good luck!

I have to take LIQUID. IRON.
yes, you read correctly. Liquid.
I hate it even more than..I dont even know, I just know I hate it immensely.
Ians kicking all hard now, he hates it too. lol

See how bad its gotten? I cant swallow pills so now Im stuck drinking who-the-hell-knows in a bottle.
I cant even take it. I feel bad about that too, since Im like 5% anemic [sp?]now lol.
I wont die if I dont take it will I?

Thanks Jess lol me Fred and Barney are gonna have a ball now!! Whoo!!

Yes. Thats a good idea.
There are also some liquid vitamins that my mom buys my sisters at the health food store.
