I order them on AMazon and found them to be cheapest there (they cost a LOT in Whole Foods). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-369149 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 08:58:31 +0000 chopsuey 369149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the am.

That way I throw up in the morning before work and dont have to deal with daytime nausea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368238 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:43:14 +0000 wahine08 368238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@foodnerd81- I take the Rainbow One but the big horsepill ones. I didn't know about the petites but I will get those next time!! Much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368229 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:28:24 +0000 pastemoo 368229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with breakfast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368162 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:38:55 +0000 BelugaBean 368162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always taken them at night. When I was pregnant I took them right after dinner to make sure my stomach was full to avoid nausea but now that I'm nursing, I take them right before I go to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368159 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:38:10 +0000 Mrs. J 368159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take everything right when I get up in the morning, then I go eat breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368092 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:07:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 368092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kpow: I don't know what type you are taking, and obviously have already talked to your doctor about this, but I take the Rainbow Light Petites, which are 3 smaller pills instead of 1 giant one. It might help, so you don't have to be cutting them, and they are easier to swallow. I take them all at once but it would be easy to do it one with every meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368084 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:04:08 +0000 ladyfingers 368084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the morning after breakfast. Or if I forget (usually on the weekend), the first opportunity after eating something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368054 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:50:22 +0000 heartonastring 368054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take one with lunch and one with dinner. My naturopath emphasized that I should take them with food in order to properly synthesize all the vitamins/minerals, and to minimize nausea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368042 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:44:27 +0000 lawbee11 368042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At night right before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368026 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:35:31 +0000 wahine08 368026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually cut mine in half, take one half after breakfast or lunch and the other after dinner. I have a REALLY hard time not getting an upset stomach with vitamins, so this seems to help. My ob/gyn suggested this to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-368016 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:31:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 368016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them in the morning but always make sure to eat a little something with them, or I get a little nausea. I guess it makes more sense to take them with dinner though. I also take a B Complex and they are supposed to be taken in the morning because they give you energy, I think, and it's easier to take it all at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-367990 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:16:54 +0000 Alivoo01 367990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are twice daily so with breakfast and dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-367978 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:12:52 +0000 Smurfette 367978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-367942 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:59:06 +0000 PurplePumps 367942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to take it around dinner time so I could have it with food, but then husband suggested, why not take it in the morning. Maybe the extra vitamins will help make you feel better throughout the day, so now I take it with breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-367941 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:58:27 +0000 mrskc 367941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-367939 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:56:44 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 367939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also take it right before bed with a tall glass of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-367935 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:55:15 +0000 alayaya 367935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine with or after dinner, that way I don't get sick</p> <p>Also I've always heard that it is better to take a multivitamin with food, so it can be digested properly. Not sure if that is true or not though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-take-your-prenatal-vitamin#post-367921 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:43:07 +0000 autumnlove 367921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take mine at night before I go to sleep! My vitamins smell kinda fishy so taking them in the morning always makes me nauseous! </p>
