Is there anyone here who doesnt take prenatals? I feel like I'm the only one. I dont take it because I end up throwing it up. And it doesnt make me feel good at all. I stopped taking them around week 7 week 8 and now that I'm almost 15 weeks, I'm feeling way better. I would have morning sickness everyday... now its hardly. I feel like a bad mom already but I'm eating healthy well plenty and drinking lots of water. Can someone ease me? I've heard of moms not taking them and having a perfectly healthy baby.
@abigailyanez, I hear ya! I used to love the bottled ones but I got sick of them after about two years of having them every day lol.
I can't take it .. I throw up every time and my whole goes so crap. I stopped taking it in third trimester
@aengs2 I'm drinking the ones in the bottle but I might end up buying the powder and making my own it's just easier grabbing it out of the fridge, my husband enjoys drinking them too.
@abigailyanez, I started taking gummies in the beginning they made me sooooo nauseous ... then I stopped for like 3 months then my doctor prescribed me the pills and I took them for about 2 weeks and stopped ... I haven’t taken them since and my baby has been growing perfectly! I’m 35 weeks and he was measuring 5lbs 2oz at 32 weeks...my doctor told me it’s okay if I couldn’t take them as long as I’m eating enough veggies
@abigailyanez, Breakfast Essentials are so good! I have those too! I like to mix the powder in a blender with milk, a banana, ice, yogurt, and sometimes peanut butter. They taste delicious if you just mix the powder with milk too. Definitely try them.
I didn’t take mine. They made me sick too. Every time I took one I threw it up.
@aengs2 I'm gonna try drinking these breakfast essentials for a while with all the vitamins and see how it goes, I feel pretty good now, not as bad as I did before.
If you don't take them baby will likely be okay but you will likely suffer. Baby takes everything it needs from you and you get what's left. My friend refused to take prenatals and broke a tooth during pregnancy because baby took all of her calcium. I'd keep trying different prenatals and find something that works. For me, taking Nature Made prenatals right before bed works perfect. Good luck!
I don’t take mine 🤷🏼♀️ I eat plenty throughout the day the overload of vitamins make me sick as heck so I stopped baby is fine.
I stopped at Bout week 13, he is absolutely healthy and bigger than he's supposed to be!
I didn’t take it my first pregnancy baby boy born healthy and I am not taking them this pregnancy, it’s just to replace what the baby is taking from us
I stopped taking them after 1st trimester.. they made me sick... both pill & gummy ... i do take iron pills though
@abigailyanez I was about 15 weeks when she told me it was OK to stop taking them cause I kept getting sick I even tried the gummies and they were like o nooooo
My sister went through her entire three pregnancies without taking them bkuz everything she tried was making her sick also. Babies are perfectly healthy, but she did eat very healthy!!!
I take mine right before bed so I sleep through all the side effects... well back when I could sleep anyways 😂
That's exactly how I was so I stopped but towards the end of my pregnancy I had to take iron pills because I was reaaaally low on iron.@abigailyanez
I don't take them. I started taking the gummies because they're the only ones that don't make me sick, but kept forgetting... now it has been since week like 8 & I just haven't 🤷♀️
I did the gummies my first trimester because the other ones made me sick the smell is just 🤢🤮 but I take them now but they give me horrible heartburn
Try talking to your doctor and see if they can prescribe you or recommend better ones for you to take
@angelfoodcake I would take them after breakfast or lunch. I was told not to take on a empty stomach.
Take at night and I recommend nature made ones. They are great!! No smell. But beware your pee will be reddish lol
I had to stop and I tried alot of different ones but before I stopped I told my dr what was up and she said it was OK until my body could tolerate it again but til this day I still can't and don't take them two weeks ago baby was 6lb5oz so he is growing good
@abigailyanez are you taking them with food?
The gummys are what made me sick... I tried the horse sized pill too and it didnt end up well.
You could try the gummies. As well as always eat something when you take them. They made me sick too whenever I took them w/o food.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

@abigailyanez, I completely replaced my prenatal with it and my ob was fine with it since it has so many vitamins
