prenatals Do you ladies find that taking your vitamins later in the day have something to do with…

I take gummies lol so doesn't affect me at all and taste good.

Are gummies as effective? I've heard that taking regular (non prenatal) gummies, your body doesn't absorb as well as the humongous pills they want you to swallow lol. But not sure if it's true

@texxie

I take flint stone gummies and my doctor say that it's totally fine to take and recommends I continue. All my labs are amazing so works for me.

Maybe I should ask about gummies. I have a hard time with pills. It takes me a good 5 minutes to swallow them

Ask doc about chewable tablets. I had to switch to chewable tablets (taste like flintstones, mine are orange flavored) they're alright but beats swallowing the pill that made me so sick!!!!

No I never noticed lol I take mine late in the day as well because I don't like them lol

Prenatals don't have anything to do w/ your hunger. I do take mine at night before I go to bed though just bc I take the big ones & when I first started taking them they'd gag me then I'd feel nauseas for a while, but my body has gotten use to them & I don't feel that way anymore.

For some reason, all vitamins make hungry. Whether it's a multivitamin, b complex or my prenatals.

Yeah mine make me so hungry AND horribly constipated. I ran out (I order them online because they're cheaper) and during that time I took a calcium, magnesium and zinc vitamin. No problems with nausea, constipation, my appetite start to decrease (though I'm about to enter my 2nd trimester so thst could be it too?) But as soon as I took my prenatals again I was starving all the time, nauseous and constipated. ?

Maybe it could be the type of prenatals you take that's making you constipated?? Have you tried switching to a different kind?

That's a good point, no I haven't changed it up. I'm taking women's one a day prenatals with DHA, folic acid and iron. Interestingly I didn't have a problem with them when I took them before getting pregnant. Which ones do you take?

I'm taking the vita fusion prenatal gummies. Love them . I hated the "horse pill" made me so sick . But never made me hungry

& @mizzdre if they have iron in them that can sometimes make you constipated I had that issue with the pills I was taking , they say you can increase your fiber intake and it tends to help
