Hi everyone! Up until about a month or so ago, I was taking Similac prenatal samples given to me by my midwife's office. I wanted something a little healthier so I ordered New Chapter Prenatals and I feel like after taking them for a couple weeks, I am so nauseous! I stopped taking them for a few days and then started them back up and again.. nauseous! They claim to be gentler on the tummy over regular vitamins.
Anybody else have this problem?

I haven't taken those specifically, but do you take them with food? And do they have more iron than the other ones? I get an upset stomach easily anyway, so I started with the Rainbow Lite Petite ones (take 3 smalls instead of 1 big) and I still get nauseaus if I take with without any food.

@Foodnerd81: I'm afraid to start them back up again to test and see if that's why. They "claim" to be gentle enough to be taken without food... and they are 3 pills a day versus 1 like the Similacs.
The Similac ones actually have more iron (27mg vs 18mg for 3 pills).
I guess making sure I'm taking them with food is one place to start. Thanks! -
I've been taking new chapter too, but haven't noticed any increase in nausea. I would just stick to the ones that don't make you nauseous for now and try again in a month.

I have the Rainbow prenatals as well but I have the horsepills. I get nauseous anytime I take them. I'll even wake up in the middle of the night feeling pukey
I'm TTC so I'm not taking them often, unfortunately, because of this. I'm going to try taking a half pill (or half dosage) right after dinner and then the rest before bed. I think this might help! I'll try this weekend though, when I don't have to be at work the next morning if I do feel gross.

I take the New Chapter ones and I can't take all three at once or I get mildly nauseated and a little bit of an aftertaste. I take two at breakfast and one more at bed time. From what I have read, it seems like breaking it up lets your body process and absorb better. On the other hand, I don't always remember to get all three in me each day so I am not sure which is worse.

I take 'em and I've never once felt nauseated. I don't take all three at once though, I usually break it up into taking one in the morning and two at night (I try to take all three at different times but I rarely remember to take the afternoon one, so it ends up being taken at night!).
