cut it in half?
prenatals have always made me sick so i
made my own concoction of a multi-vitamin,
a calcium supplement, and a folic acid
tablet.
the vitamins are important so try to find
something that works for you. i know a lot
of people take flintstone vitamins, so
maybe ask your doctor about those.

well, did you try to take them with milk?
I did that 'cuz i couldn't take them
either... It's much easier it's like you
aren't even taking it.. it just feels like
you are drinking milg

They are kinda huge . I didn;t take them
long enough either cause they made me ill
. My dr. just gave iron pills and folate .
Like Bridget said cut them in half or
dissolve them in water before hand.

you can get a cutter and take 1/2 in the
morning and 1/2 at night... or shop around
and try out other brands

my DR told me to take 2 flinstone vitimans
instead becasue the Prenatal Vitimans were
making me sick. you CAN just take one, but
my DR suggested 2. You must get the right
kind though. Not the gummy kind, the
chewable ones, they have to contain Iron.

Ask your doctor for a chewable prental
vitamin. That's what I did.

Ask your doctor if you can take your
vitamins in liquid form. It takes nasty,
and it is more expensive, but it's just
as, if not more, effective and won't make
you so sick. It is mostly the iron that
is hard to digest once you do get it
down.
Always try to take it with food, so midway
through or after your meal is best, and
not first thing in the morning. You may
find that taking your vitamins after
dinner is better.

2 flinstones are NOT enough for a pregnant
woman.

I guess they are better than nothing,
though.
There are many people who say their doctor
said the same thing.
