I’ve been suffering badly with nausea since week 6 (currently 7 and a half weeks), but wondered if my Pregnacare vitamins are making it worse…
I was pregnant in 2021 (unfortunately ended in MMC) but took Seven Seas, and although my nausea was bad it wasn’t anywhere near this bad.
Has anyone else experienced Pregnacare making their nausea worse? And what do you take instead?
Thanks in advance!

Pregnacare pre natal and pregnancy vitamins made me throw up after taking them whereas own brand ones didn’t have this effect!

If I take pregnacare in the morning I’m sick all day. If I take it in the evening I’m a lot better x

The vitamins (all brands) made me vomit after taking them in the first trimester. So grim!

I know that if I didn’t eat properly before taking them then I would be sick - would it be that for you ?

They were making my sickness worse! I have just started taking the gummy form of pregnacare instead. Maybe try that x

With my first I couldn’t stand it! I switched to Morrisons own brand and was much better, I’m only taking folic acid with this one as my bmi is slightly high 🙄 and it needed prescribed x

If you take your prenatal’s at night before bed they’re less likely to make you feel sick/ be sick. Made that mistake with my first and it’s really made a huge difference to the nausea this pregnancy taking them at night instead of the morning x

Yep, me sick and nauseous every time, switche dto own vrand and started taking them in as I go to bed instead

Yes the iron in them can definitely make you neauseous it’s a higher dose than a normal vitamin! Switch or take at night and see if it helps

I’ve been noticing recently that it’s been making my sickness worse, looking to try the liquid version.

I’ve heard taking them before bed is best to tackle sickness. I’ve been doing this since the start and only get slight nausea when hungry
