Both gave me the uti like discomfort. People just refuse to believe me. I'm glad I found this post- at least I know I'm not imagining it or acting like a hypochondriac. I guess I'll have to shop around for a brand that suits me. I just hope the multivitamin manufacturers do something about this... however until then trial and error it is!! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-amp-urinary-discomfort#post-2526539 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 22:22:04 +0000 C 2526539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been taking garden of life raw organic prenatal vitamins. I totally thought i had a UTI until I read this. It hurts after I pee, for a while. I'm going to try switching to see if it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-amp-urinary-discomfort#post-671909 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:20:08 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 671909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NO WAY.<br /> Oh my gosh, I have sworn a thousand times this pregnancy that I've had a UTI, and the results are always negative. I never even THOUGHT that it might be my prenatal!<br /> Luckily, I have some samples of another kind, so I might give those a try. </p> <p>The things you learn on the internet.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-amp-urinary-discomfort#post-671786 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:50:04 +0000 Vegmama 671786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Thank you!!

There is a lot of ascorbic acid (it's the 2nd ingredient). I didn't take the vitamins today or yesterday, and I'm feeling so much better. So weird ... and annoying that I have a bottle of 150 pills and have to find something else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-amp-urinary-discomfort#post-671743 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:33:15 +0000 Mrs.Someone 671743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had this happen, but I take a food-based prenatal. It might be worth trying, since it is natural instead of chemicals? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-amp-urinary-discomfort#post-670896 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:34:10 +0000 Vegmama 670896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Thank you so much!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-amp-urinary-discomfort#post-670344 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:05:06 +0000 Happygal 670344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That stinks! Maybe you can piece together supplements to avoid high levels of the ascorbic acid. </p> <p>The woman from the Art of Making a Baby blog shared her supplement routine. It's a bit intense, but it would be worth it to me avoid bladder irritation! <a href="http://prebabyblog.com/2012/01/supplements-during-pre-conception-and-pregnancy/" rel="nofollow">http://prebabyblog.com/2012/01/supplements-during-pre-conception-and-pregnancy/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-amp-urinary-discomfort#post-669394 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:25:06 +0000 kml636 669394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no idea about this.

Hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamins-amp-urinary-discomfort#post-669380 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:13:10 +0000 Vegmama 669380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you ladies on prenatal vitamins, have any of you ever experienced bladder or urinary pain? I went to the doctor last month because of what seemed like a UTI ... the labs came back normal. No UTI. The problem has persisted since then (not as bad, but still uncomfortable). Over the weekend, we were out of town and I skipped my prenatal (we aren't actively trying). On Monday morning, I realized I wasn't having any pain at all. I took my prenatal yesterday afternoon, and today, I am extremely uncomfortable. After researching a bit, I see the acid (ascorbic acid) can cause this pain. I was so afraid I was developing IC, but I really think it's the vitamins. I wonder if anyone else has gone through this and/or found a prenatal that doesn't irritate your bladder. </p>
