Prenatals?

Hi ladies, I saw on a few posts re: things you don't like about being pregnant - the effects of prenatals. What did you mean by this?

Re: Prenatals?

I haven't had any negative side effects of the prenatals. I've been taking OTC ones.

The only trouble I had was if I tried taking them on an empty stomach (Chat Icon ). I changed brands and take them at night - no problems.

I was taking Prenate Elite and was experiencing the same problem. I swicthed to Citracal and haven't had any problems with them which has been sooo helpful! I too was gagging and burping up that nasty taste. These citracal have a slightly citrus-y smell to them which I am convinced helps a bit Chat Icon

Re: Prenatals?

I got sick (ms) from them. I couldn't take it anymore, so my doc said it was ok to take 2 flintstones vitamins daily instead of the prenatals.

I just find I have to take mine with a full stomach of food,otherwise I feel queasy. Otherwise, I havent had any side effects. I am on pre natal plus - its a prescription prenatal.

I take the CVS brand prenatals too and I've never had a problem with them at all even though in the past other vitamins have made me feel nauseaus. And even better they are SO cheap!

ME TOO!! I never had any side effects with them at all!! Can't beat the price either! $8.99 for 100 pills. Prescription would cost me lots more.
