One thing to keep in mind that I never thought of is that if they contain iron and you take them with dairy it can impede the absorption of said iron. I used to always take them with milk but had to stop doing that because my iron was always low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211703 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:45:27 +0000 meaganceleste 211703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine at night before bed, I've never had any problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211702 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:45:21 +0000 Running Elley 211702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them right before bed! I used to take them in the morning pre-pregnancy but once I started having MS I couldn't stomach them then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211701 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:42:26 +0000 PBandBaseball 211701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always take mine with dinner. My doctor told me that it usually takes about 6-8 hours for women to have the nausea from taking them and by then I'm sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211698 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:40:46 +0000 chopsuey 211698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first thing in the am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211641 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:41:58 +0000 autumnlove 211641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually at night, I am too rushed in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211611 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:10:41 +0000 oliviaoblivia 211611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine with breakfast.

The only thing was - for a while I took DHA Fish Oil pills, and I had to take those right before bed because of the gross aftertaste... I'm taking fish free DHA now, and take it with my pre-natal in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211596 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:02:38 +0000 wheres_c 211596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At night before bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211568 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:48:26 +0000 MaisyMay 211568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the morning and at night I have to take some other meds that make me a little queasy, so I was told to take mine at night, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211561 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:41:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 211561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-pg, I took them in the morning around/with breakfast, and they didn't bother me a bit. Once I got pg, however, that all went out the window, and they made nauseous no matter when I took them (and still do sometimes). Take them now at a time best suited for you to not forget them keeping in mind that may change when you get a BFP. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211532 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:19:05 +0000 MamaMoose 211532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine did make me a little nauseous so I always take them right before I go to bed. Then I sleep through and I'm not bothered by them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211530 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:17:40 +0000 JoJoGirl 211530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine when I get home from work around 5pm.

The only times they've made me nauseous is when I forget and then take them a couple hours after dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211515 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:07:50 +0000 littlebug 211515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211513 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:07:40 +0000 kodybear 211513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i take mine after breakfast as well. i haven't had any morning sickness, but i noticed that during the pregnancy (it didn't happen when we were TTC) if i take the pills without alot of food, i get nauseous fast, but as long as i eat something, it goes away in a couple minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211487 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:56:30 +0000 ladyfingers 211487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them after breakfast every morning. I haven't had much pukey morning sickness, just general queasiness randomly throughout the day, so taking the pill hasn't triggered anything for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211467 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:49:49 +0000 LinzR 211467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops, yes, I always take them with food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211466 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:49:33 +0000 Smurfette 211466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take all my vitamins at night right before I go to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211465 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:49:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 211465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always taken mine right before breakfast, they have never caused me to be nauseous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-of-day-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamins#post-211464 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:49:28 +0000 LinzR 211464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine don't bother me.

I have heard that prenatals make some women nauseous (and I am trying to avoid that!), so is there a time of day that is best to take prenatals? And do you take them with food? Any advice would be great! </p>
