I just got my prenatal vitamins this week because I get them through the mail due to my insurance so I don't have to pay co-pays. My doctor prescribed the prenatal vitamin plus. I started taking them on Wednesday but they've been making my stomach really upset. I'm not sure if its because I take them right after I ate a bowl of cereal with milk or if its something else that's causing the prenatal vitamins to make my stomach really upset.
I didn't have this problem with my son with the prenatal vitamins making my stomach upset and I know about every pregnancy is different I'm 7 weeks along. I don't feel ill when I first get up its only after I take the prenatal vitamin.
If anyone can give me advice on what I'm doing wrong that will be greatly appreciated or if any one can tell me how long the upset stomach lasts while first starting to take them would also be greatly appreciated.

Your not doing anything wrong. I think a glass of milk might have helped. Milk coats your stomach and tends to give a protective coating.It may be just the time of pregnancy too though.You can never tell what makes us ill at this time. By now you've had your baby but maybe next time.

Hey! well I can't help you to much 'cause I haven't been pregnant, yet, I have never heard that could happen so If I were you, just to make sure everything is fine I would go to the doctor...
