You take them with a meal? I’ve also heard good things about Ritual too. Your OB might also have a good rec! I’m sorry they don’t make you feel good :(

@Rae yes i usually take them with breakfast but i think its the taste it makes me soooo sick . I try hard to hold it down but sometimes its over powering :/

Try taking them at night before you sleep. I take ritual and the fish/algae burps are the worst, but I take them at night so it really doesn’t affect me all that badly. I know some people who struggle with taking prenatal take gummy versions instead, but they are usually not as good for you, but anything is better than nothing.

Naturemade made me so so sick! I switched to the women’s one a day with added brain support and I feel fine with them

Iv been taking the olly ones they were good

I had to switch to gummies because the pills made me throw up too

i have the same ones and started taking them at night and it helped me, also trying to make sure you have enough food in your system

I had the same issue with ritual, they made me have the worse vomiting. I switched to garden of life mykind prenatals

I am taking one a day with choline and they are great so far.

I take OrthoMolecular Prenatal complete w/ DHA + EPA, and take it with food. If you do switch, look for one that has methylfolate instead of folic acid, since FA is the synthetic version and not everyone absorbs it well.

Gummies are better on the tummy!!!

There are some at Walmart called olly they are gummy’s they might help.

I have used Olly prénatals and found that having it with dinner works for me

I take mine at night (after dinner) because they make me sick on an empty stomach 😖

I had to switch to a gummy. I couldn’t swallow them any more.

A whole food prenatal might help with that. They are much more gentle on the stomach.

Nature made was difficult for me to get down too. The fish smell was awful. I would ask my doctors for ones that didn’t have it and every one they recommended would or you’re having to take 3-5 pills! I went through A LOT of pre natals to see which I liked. I finally found and tried ritual. Only 2 pills, it’s mint flavored and I can get it down.
