Can prenatal vitamins cause diarrhea?

Yes: It is possible that it might be the cause if you've started taking it and nothing else has changed in your diet.

It's possible: For some women, prenatal vitamins can cause unwanted symptoms. Nausea is common, but diarrhea is also possible. If you are having this problem, you may want to switch to a different type of vitamin - I find that chewable or gummy vitamins are usually better tolerated.
