As for the amount to take - I am just trusting the pre-natal multivitamin. I compared labels when I first started taking them, and all pre-natals seem to have the same amount of Folic Acid. </p> <p>I second @LindsayinNY and suggest trying to take it at night. Or if you usually take it on an empty stomach, try taking it with a meal or snack/if you usually take it with food, try it on an empty stomach. Hopefully the nausea will go away soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/folic-acid-nausea#post-1112161 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:09:40 +0000 blackbird 1112161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have this issue and I took like, 10x the normal amount of folic acid. It never made me nauseous. Sorry :( I had good success with gummy prenatals, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/folic-acid-nausea#post-1112089 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 07:54:33 +0000 LindsayInNY 1112089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure when you take your vitamins but, if you don't already, I would suggest taking them before bed. That usually helps your body from having any nausea-related symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/folic-acid-nausea#post-1112043 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 07:40:09 +0000 Cole 1112043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been taking a separate folic acid supplement since we are ttc and I feel like the recommendations for how much are all over the map. I finally realized though that it is making me nauseous. I read online that as your body gets used to it the nausea goes away but it seems like such an odd side effect. </p> <p>I take New Chapter's Perfect Prenatal, Vitamin D and B Complex as well (the D &amp; B are things I have tested low for). I have been taking everything for quite awhile except the folic acid, although I did switch which B Complex I use. </p> <p>Has this happened to anyone else? Did anyone find a semi-concrete answer about how much folic acid? </p>
