Anyone else HATING the prenatal vitamins right about now? (TMI)
Oh my GOD my poor stomach. The stupid prenatal vitamins are HUGE, and making me seriously consitpated! I keep having major cramps, and it's all gas and constipation. I'm ready to scream! And I've only been on them a week! UGH!!! When does it stop???
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 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!
