Prenatal vitamins making morning sickness worse?

Question

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone is having problems with their Prenatal? I take the one a day prenatal with the extra DHA supplement. I am at 6w 1d and the last 4 days my "morning" sickness has been unbearable. Yesterday I couldn't keep anything down, including water or ginger tea. Today I accidentally missed my prenatal but have noticed that while I'm still very nauseous, I can keep fruit, water, and popsicles down. So I was wondering if anyone else has ever dealt with this severe morning sickness or their prenatal making them more sick? Any advice is apperciated!!

Answer

It happened with my last pregnancy and I spoke to my dr and pharmacist about it. Both thought it was the iron in the prenatal. Though super important I was advised by both to find one without iron and then keep an eye out for anemic symptoms. I never fell anemic and was fine and never struggled with Morning sickness after the switch. Before I switched I tired taking with meals or before bed switched to gummies nothing worked for me except the iron change.

Answer

I had to switch to gummies with my last pregnancy.

Answer

This has happened to me I just stopped taking them. I try to get as much vitamins and folic acid as I can through my diet.

Answer

I have to take them at night before bed.

Answer

I take mine before bed. I missed it last night so I took it this morning and I got so nauseas! So nighttime only for me

Answer

I was told to take my prenatal at night to help with morning sickness. It definitely helps!

Answer

Yep my first I took prenatals for 2 months and just couldn't take it anymore so I quit taking them. I was so disappointed I had tried literally everything though. Gummies, Other types of women's vitamin, putting it with food, before bed. To no avail I was sick until I stopped.

Answer

Yes! This has happened to me all of my pregnancy. Docs say try taking them before bed, but that just makes me vomit in the middle of the night. My doc said if you can't keep any of them down try a gummy or regular women's multivitamin. Bananas have been helping my nausea in general, even if it takes 15 minutes to eat one. Hope this helps a bit.

Answer

Thank you everyone for the comments and advice! I have my first appointment on 09/01 so I'm going to switch to gummies for now and see if that helps and see what my OB says.
