Not likely: If taking only one pill a day not likely to be the cause for your symptoms. If in doubt, stop taking the pill for few days. If symptoms persist please see your doc for proper diagnosis.

It happens: Some women do experience nausea when they take their prenatal vitamins. Fortunately there are many different pre-natal vitamin products. You can try an alternative on your own or discuss with your provider who may be able to recommend an alternate formulation including chewable or liquid vitamins. Make sure the vitamin includes folic acid 0.4 mg to prevent neural tube defects.
