Will taking prenatal vitamins make my stomach hurt?

No: Vitamins should not hurt your stomach unless you are taking excessive number of pills.

Prenatal Vitamins: It may help to take your vitamins with meals. Iron in prenatals can sometimes irritate your stomach otherwise. Folate (folic acid) is in them also, but doesn't seem to bother as much.
