Pre natal side effects?

I've been hearing different opinions about this.

I have my pre natals but I haven't started to take them yet. have any of you had any side effects like bloating, weight gain, etc?

Re: Pre natal side effects?

the only side-effects have been positive - my nails grow super-fast and my hair seems shinier and smoother. I have not had any stomach issues, but I always take my pre-natals right after dinner.

Re: Pre natal side effects?

I didn't start taking prenatals until I got my BFP and the only side effect was horrible constipation at first. It started about a week after I started taking them and lasted a few days. Since then it hasn't been too bad.

When I started TTC I took CVS OTC prenatals and they had no effect on me. Once I got my BFP the doctor put me on a RX (Prenate Elite) those gave me a little constipation at first, but after a week or so my body adjusted and now I'm fine!Chat Icon

Re: Pre natal side effects?

I was taking prescription pre-natals and they made me super nauseous...

Now I take the GNC ones and have side effects at all.

Re: Pre natal side effects?

I got a really really bad stomach from it. So they tried all different ones on me, and I now take Flintstones and a folic.

Re: Pre natal side effects?

make sure you take them with food. I took mine in the morning on an empty tummy and got sick. I now take them at night with dinner and no problems.
