Before I started taking my prenatal vitamines I could eat a full meal but now I can only eat half a plate I dont pile the food on so i know its not that I've put to much on the plate. My fiance is thinking im trying to lose weight I've repeatedly try telling him Im not and that Im eating as much as I can I just don't have an appitite. I was just wondering if any one else has experianced this.

I had a horrible time with my prenatal vitamins making me nauseas and constipated. My Dr. suggested taking it right before bed and taking an over the counter stool softener (Colace) to help with the other part. The vitamins are a real pain but are so important for the babe. Good Luck!

Appetite Vitamins

Pre-natal vitamins actually made me throw up and I Couldn't eat anything. When I told my OB about that, she suggested I take Flinstones Chewables instead. As soon as I switched, I got my appetite back and I was able to keep food down and wasn't throwing up all the time. Some people have that kind of reaction when they take those vitamins. My OB had a few different people complain about it, and since then, whenever someone asks about something similar to what I went through, I tell them the same thing every time. "talk to your doctor and switch to Flinstones" Everyone has agreed that something in the prenatal vitamins made them ill and not want to eat. I think it may be the iron ontent but I am not positive. All in all though, make sure you talk to your doctor.
Congrats, and good luck

I haven't, but it's common. Try a different prenatal vitamin. It might also be unrelated and just the position of your uterus right now is making you slow down and feel full sooner. Try to eat frequently if you can't eat much in one sitting.

My prenatal vitamins made me feel bloated, and also made me sick to my stomach. My ob-gyn suggested 2 flinstone vitamins, and that worked out better. Just be sure to get plenty of folic acid in your diet, especially in the first and second trimesters

With my prenatal vitamins I was constipated like crazy. I quit taking them because I just couldn't deal with it. I wasn't hungry ever because I was so backed up.

all the time. Try taking an over the counter prenantal, there much more easier to get used to, and if that doesnt work I would consult your ob.
