Could I still be sick because I'm not taking prenatals?

Question

So I was taking prenatals in the first 3 weeks I found out i was pregnant but then stopped because I thought they were making me sick. I still have them just stopped using them. I'm now 14 weeks and haven't been taking them. I was planning to start taking them again once I felt better but I'm still throwing up almost every morning and sometimes after I eat something that the baby doesn't want lol. Should I start taking them now even though I'm not feeling better? Could taking them possibly make me start to feel better? I'm a FTM so I don't have any pregnancies to relate this one too.

Answer

You really should take them if you can. Your sickness is probably just due to morning sickness from the hormones. Prenatals can contribute to nausea and constipation, but it helps if you take them with food.

Answer

FTM here to, I stopped taking mine because I couldn't keep them down and felt like they made me more nauseas. Nausea is pretty much gone now and has been for about 2-3 weeks, so far I've just been enjoying the being able to function part for a bit, but plan to start on the again in the next few days. I think so long as you're caring for yourself otherwise it isn't too bad, considering some people thrash their body, don't know they're pregnant until labour and still have healthy babies. Congrats and I hope morning sickness clears up for you soon xxx

Answer

Yes please start taking them! They clearly don't have anything to do with you being sick and they're so good for you and the baby! I take mine at night before bed so I don't throw them up.

Answer

Take then before you go to bed your body will get used of them. I got sick from them in the beginning but now I get sick if I don't take them.

Answer

Try taking them right before you go to bed. Definitely take them though

Answer

The folic acid and other vitamins in prenatals help reduce the risk of neuro and other birth defects, such as spina bifida. If they make you sick, you should try the gummies. They're missing some ancillary vitamins that can't be liquefied, but have folic acid which is the most important.

Answer

It depends. Not taking them shouldn't make you sick however what the prenatals are actually for are more so you. Because the baby is going to take all the nutrients from you and if you don't get enough in your diet you're going to be lacking in certain areas. Taking the vitamins helps you to keep enough in your body. You may just still have morning sickness. Most of the time it subsides come your second trimester but unfortunately it isn't always true for everyone. Sometimes the prenantals do make people sick as well you have to make sure you take them with food, some people take them at night right before bed and say that helps. I've also heard some people take the gummies and they don't make them as sick.
