I startd taking a prenatel vitamin, but have been getting sick lately. The bottle says to take with a meal but I find I sometimes can't keep my meals down, so is it a waste to take them then? I took one last night before I whent to bed instead, is this okay? Do I have to take with meal? Can I take before bed instead? How long does it take to get into my system?

you usually take a tablet with a meal so that the meal provides a 'lining for your stomach' so to speak. I would say that you are not doing any harm by taking it on an empty stomach - rather have it and it stay down than not have it at all.

They only say to take it with a meal as the tablet may make you feel nauseous. What about taking it with a few crackers or a piece of toast, just so you have somthing on your tummy.

I got sick with my first pregnancy when I took them-it is quite normal. I took mine before bed and it alliviated the problem. Ask your doctor if you are concerned, but they will just tell you as long as you are taking them, it is fine. I don't know how long it would take to get out of your system.

If it makes you sick then take it at bedtime. It will not hurt to not take it with meals.
