Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I must admit there were times I was constipated, but take into consideration that constipation is normal during pregnancy! This prenatal is one of the best, in my opinion, and at 27 weeks, my healthy baby girl is kicking like there's no tomorrow! No problems thus far, just a healthy baby and pregnancy to show for it."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I know everyone is different, but this vitamin is by far the best one out there. I've taken many prenatal vitamins, and they've always made my stomach very upset and made me very constipated. Thanks to this vitamin, I don't even have to take it with food. The only complaint I have about it is the taste. You have to swallow it very quickly so the taste doesn't stay on your tongue."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I know I need them, but taking this vitamin causes me extreme nausea and constipation. I mean all-day nausea that makes me not have any appetite. I decided not to take it for like a day or two, and my nausea subsided, but I felt a little dizzy as if my iron was low. So I take it at night now to reduce the effect, and I'm going to start taking stool softener to fight off the bowel issue."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "When I started to take the vitamins, I eat a little more on the side. In the first few days, I had an upset stomach, nausea, and even vomiting (I could hardly vomit generally, but the drug made me). Then I started to take them every other day, but still, I was having stomach problems. Finally, I stopped taking them for 2 weeks, and I feel I am exhausted as the baby got all my body nutrients. I started to feel tired, sleepy, and overall not well. Now I eat little by little and take the vitamin again every other day. Still, I feel constipation, but I try to drink lots of water to absorb the vitamin, and I feel better. Also, try to bite it and then swallow (I know it is disgusting), it may help to absorb it easier."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I've been taking these for about a week now and I was fine in the beginning, but lately I've had bad constipation. Which is not normal for me. Luckily for me I didn't spend any money on these because a coworker gave me them."
