A member asked:
I am 8 weeks pregnant and not feeling like i can keep anything down. is it ok to skip my prenatal vitamin just this once?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is definitely better to skip the vitamin for a day than worsen your vomiting. You may want to try things like taking your prenatal vitamin at night or switching to a different brand (even a chew-able vitamin). But focus on making sure you stay hydrated. If your symptoms persist you should talk to your doctor about getting an anti nausea medication.
