WOW! Six pills is a alot! I don't think I could do it. Why does he have you taking so many? Is it because their natural whole food vitamins? I will admit, I don't know the difference. =) My pill is just one big fat horse pill. Their ok right now, but I know once morning sickness kicks in it will be hard to keep them down, at which point my doc said it is ok to take flinstones kids vitamins. And I know what you mean feeling "backed up"
It's mainly because of all the iron in prenatals, it makes it hard to "go". My doc prescribed a stool softner (not a laxative) that supposed to help but it really just makes its worse in my opinion. Try a different prenatal, one with less iron***
SIX!!! Thats incredible! I just take one a day! & thats hard enough for me to remember. Every night I have to ask myself if I have taken it or not bc I can never remember. I just take mine with a meal & have had no trouble yet but I also dont have mornig sickness.
