Does anyone else feel like puking after taking them?
I'm not a big person (5'3/120lbs) and after taking those multivitamin horse pills, I always feel sick, even when I take it with food!

Do you ladies feel the same?

Also totally random: I knew there would be breast tenderness, and while sadly I havn't recieved any growth, my nips hurt like the dickens!
I told Remi it was like having recieved a really bad purple nurple.
Ouch.

I never had that problem with prenatals but I've heard of a lot of women that do. Have you tried taking them just before bed?

There are also gummy prenatals that are MUCH easier to take than the huge pills. I've also heard that you can take two kids flintstones vitamins. Hopefully you can find something that works for you

That's pretty much what I had to do. I take my prenatals at night and if for some reason I forget to take them, I would take 2 flintstones vitamins instead. As for the breast tenderness, I didn't really have it until a few weeks before my son is born, and even now being preggs again I don't really have anything -- but all pregnancies are different.

I take my prenatals right before bed because they don't sit so well in my stomach. My doctor said that 2 Flinstones are acceptable since some women can't "stomach" the prenatals until the second trimester. Personally, my doctor gave me samples of two different brands--I will NOT be using the ones that are a size and a half larger than any others I've taken!

My boobs are finally starting to get a LITTLE less sore, but man have they been killing me!

I was told by a doctor to take half a pill in the morning and half before bed to help keep the ill feeling away. I haven't tried it but have talked to people who say it works.

I was told the same thing by a few people. I definitely would have tried it, if morning sickness were more of a factor and I weren't able to keep it down.
