Why are my prenatal vitamins making me nauseated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common issue.: Many of my patients report this. I am not sure why, but probably something to do with the specific formulation and inactive ingredients. Really all you need until the nausea of pregnancy abates is the Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily. As the pregnancy progresses you will need more calcium (tums (calcium carbonate) kills two birds with one stone) and iron, but not before 14-20 weeks. Try different pnv brands to see which works.
