re: Prenatal Vitamins Question

Quoting Beth [due 12-25-08]:“ When do you take them? Do you eat when you take them?”

Usually I take them in the morning...
And I didn't always eat with them first...
But now I make sure to because I thought that was the problem.
But it still continues.
And does this affect the baby somehow if I am allergic?

Quoting melissa♥jo [HBC]:“ Yeah this is what I thought at first. That I was feeling this way because I would take it right in the morning sometimes without eating. But now I have been eating and this is still happening...”

Hmm that's weird!

You can always take flinstone's vitamins. A lot of pregnant women take those instead of prenatals. They might be better for you.

Quoting melissa♥jo [HBC]:“ This is an option I guess for a while until I get things figured out. I will try and take it before I sleep now... maybe that might help...”

i tried that too, and i ended up puking the WHOLE day the next day. thats when i knew i had to get some new pulls.

You could try taking the flintstones vitamins- i hear those work better than prenatals.

Quoting melissa♥jo [HBC]:“ I have no other allergies that I know of. I have never had any issues with any other medicines or anything ... [snip!] ... purple pill before! LOL... So you think I should change and also talk to my doctor and have her help me get prescribed to some?”

Yea, definitely switch and talk to the dr about your reaction to them.. I've never had a problem with mine, I just take the One Source OTC brand, they are much smaller because you take 2 a day, easier on the stomach..and you should always eat when taking a vitamin!

Yeah I might have to do that.... cause I go to work after taking them... and my employee was like are you okay. Your face is all flushed and you don't look so hot. I'm like ugh... I'm miserable. And then an hour later... I was fine.

Quoting melissa♥jo [HBC]:“ Okay so when I first found out that I was pregnant I was attending these classes at a Pregnancy Clinic ... [snip!] ... hard to describe. It's really weird and I hate it. Is this normal? Or should I talk to my doctor and switch prenatal vitamins?”

Try taking your pill with a full glass of milk! That may help!!

Okay thankyou! I will definitely discuss this with my doctor. And hopefully get switched to something easier on my tummy...

SO NOW THAT I KNOW THIS... IF I AM ALLERGIC TO THE PRENATAL VITAMIN DO YOU THINK ME TAKING IT THIS TIME HAS HURT THE BABY IN ANY WAY? JUST A WORRY...

Thankyou... I'll try it!

Probably not.. my sister was diagnosed with celiacs disease (allergy to gluten) after both her pregnancies and her babies came out perfect.

if you're allergic to it i dont think it means the baby is too. but if you're worried call a doctor.

Okay thankyou...   I just hope everything is okay....

I get really sick from mine sometimes from the iron in them.

My iron levels when they first tested me where slightly low. Would that have anything to do with it? That my body isn't used to the iron....
