It doesn't! Make sure you are eating LOTS of fiber and drinking lots of water. I eat a bowl of shredded wheat every morning and it helps everything to keep moving.

I heard they do that to some women, try drinking a lot of apple juice, eating fiber etc to counteract the pills. I hope you start feeling better soon

I have been unable to take the prenatal vitamins, because I was so sick for the first few months. My nurse told me to take like Flinstones Childrens Complete Vitamins. They contain everything you need, and has folic acid in them. If your nurse wants you to take more folic acid that in the vitamins, they also sell that separately and its not bad. Dried fruits help to get things moving, and also, Metamucil or something similar. Just fiber pills if your not getting enough from what you eat. Good luck, it does get better!

I can't take my prenatals either cause they make me wicked sick. I found the generic Wal-Mart ones don't bother me as badly, and they're smaller.
