What do I do If my Prenatal Makes me Queasy?

According to WebMD: "Some prenatal vitamins can cause nausea in an already nauseous pregnant woman. If your prenatal vitamins make you sick, talk to your health care provider. He or she may be able to prescribe a different kind of prenatal vitamin (for example, chewable or liquid vitamins as opposed to those you swallow whole may be better tolerated by some women)."

The easier answer is that you actually have a few options. If your prenatal makes you sick, make sure that you are eating it with dinner. If that doesn't work, take it just before bed. Other alternatives include choosing a prenatal vitamin that has a different dosage form. Liquids are available as well as chewable vitamins that are more like candy. If all else fails, Flintstone children's chewables seem to be the vitamin of choice for many women.

Do I actually need to take a prenatal vitamin?

If your typical daily diet consists of unprocessed foods, fruits, a colorful variety of vegetables, whole grains, lentils, and plenty of water, then you will likely have sufficient vitamins and minerals already in your body. As long as you are eating a well balanced diet, you need not fear overdosing on nutrients found naturally in

However, supplements and vitamins are a different story. Synthetic vitamin supplements can be helpful ways of including vital nutrients in your daily meals. Vitamins and minerals are essential to healthy development of your baby, as well as your own physical health. You should always talk to your healthcare practitioner about your prenatal nutrition and any of the supplements or vitamins that you are taking.
