re: Prenatal Vitamins Question

Quoting melissa♥jo [HBC]:“ 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....”

To be completely honest i'm not sure, but i'm slightly anemic too, not enough where they want me taking extra iron, but enough to where mine is low too, and they make me feel sick a lot of the time when I take them. It got better after i'd taken them for a while, but I still get days where I take them and then 30 min. later i'm so sick that I just have to lay down and not move my head.

Exactly... that's what I feel like I have to do. Just lay down and not move my head. Cause I feel like if i move it it makes everything worse! And yeah I wasn't anemic but I was lower than the level they wanted me to be at. So... maybe this has something to do with it.

Quoting ~* Mandy *~:“ Mine made me vomit with both pregnancies so i stopped taking them but ate lots of veggies and fruits.... and both of my little ones are healthy”

I couldnt' take them either.. I did for as long as I could until my morning sickness set it, then there was just NO way I could.. I would start throwing up before I even got it in my mouth...

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?”

I would get this, in the beginning I didnt have a doc yet due to no insurance so I would take over the counter prenatal vitamins and they made me so sick! I stopped taking them, then when I had my first doc visit they gave me tons of samples and I tried one and I loved it... it never made me sick! It's called ObTrex, it also has soft stool softener in it. I love them and will never use another brand!
