Prenatal vitamins

Has anyone gotten stomach aches while taking these? I've been getting a lot lately and I am wondering if it is from the vitamins.

Re: Prenatal vitamins

Even though the pills say to take them in the morning, the nurse at my Dr.'s office told me to take them right before going to bed. That way if you get a little but of a stomach ache, you'll probably just sleep through it.

Re: Prenatal vitamins

I was getting aches and quizziness and was told to take it after a full meal. I have been doing that ever since and no problems!

Re: Prenatal vitamins

I always take mine with dinner - or if we eat out then a small healthy snack once I am home....and its been fine! Did you try a few brands out?

Re: Prenatal vitamins

They gave me a few to try out and the first one I tried seemed ok. It says to take it on an empty stomach one hour before eating or 2 - 3 hours after eating which I don't understand b/c I thought you should never take vitamins on an empty stomach.

Re: Prenatal vitamins

I try to take them after dinner - so far - no problems.

Re: Prenatal vitamins

my dr told me to ignore the instructions about taking it on an empty stomach etc and make sure to eat with it. this has made a big difference for me and many of the girls on here. call your dr and ask if its ok!

Re: Prenatal vitamins

It could be your body needs to adjust to them or maybe they are not agreeing with you and need to try another brand. TRy to take them on a full stomach, I always do with my biggest meal of the day, lunch.

Re: Prenatal vitamins

Thanks I am definitly going to try that.

Re: Prenatal vitamins

I take mine right before I eat and haven't experienced anything as long as I eat.
