My doctor gave me some Duet DHA prenatal vitamins... the only thing is that they make me burp of the taste of fish- which I HATED fish BEFORE i was pregnant- and now the smell of fish makes me vomit... the taste makes me gag ALOT every time i burp it up (which is about every 2-3 minutes for 2 hours starting an hour after i take the vitamins....) I am going to have the doctor switch me to something else next time i go- but that is not for 3 more weeks, so my question is do you have any ideas on how to not burp up so much.

Hey! I take the exact same vitamins and while they do make you burp up a fish taste.. drink water when you feel a burp coming on. Believe me, that will take down the taste a little. My doctor also put me on gaggin pills. They were prescribed so, I'm not sure what the name of them are. Ask your doctor about them but, The Duet DHA are the best vitamins that I could take and them not make me sick and vomit(like most other vitamins)Good luck to you!!!!

Try taking it at night before bed. Then you will be asleep and wont taste the burps. That is what I had to do so I wouldn't throw them up. Good luck
I too love the one source prenatals. They are the only things I can take. And that has been that way since I got pregnant with #1

Give your doctor or their nurse a call and ask if there is another brand of pre-natal vitamin that they recommend....or even if an over-the-counter brand is OK. It may just be that your body does not agree with the formulation in that one brand. In the meantime, have you tried a teaspoon of milk of magnesia along with the vitamin? It is perfectly safe during pregnancy and has always helped ease my tummy. The added bonus is that it helps keep you regular if the extra iron in the pre-natal vitamins is making it more difficult for you to go to the bathroom.

I would just stop taking those vitamins. I told my Dr. that I refused to take prenantal vitamins, they made me so ill during my first, and he said that was fine as long as I kept taking my flintstones. You can also get prenatal vitamins at any store and they are just as good as the prescription ones (check the label)

If you can't get your doc to change your Rx before you go in, then buy some over the counter prenatals. Before i got my Rx I used One Source. Got them for 10 bucks at walmart. You can also try eating two flintsones vitamins.

Maybe your body is reacting to something in the pill. They do sell Prenatal Vitamins over the counter...try something else...

go to walmart and get "one source" prenatal vitamins.. they are in a small white bottle with a pink label... there are 120 small caplets and they have no taste what so ever.. they have everything that any other prenatal vitamin has...

Call the doctor now and request that he call something else in to the pharmacy. Good Luck!

Take Gas-X or Beano.. it helps with all stomache gas no matter which way it comes out.
