Pregnancy Info HOME

take lots of prenatal vitamins (w/all-natural ingredients like beta carotene for vitamin A...not palmitate) but not the over-the-counter prescription prenatals..they don't absorb into your bloodstream like the real good stuff... they cost nuts amount of money but don't deliver on their promises(if it's a tab form don't take it..that's a warning sign of dead vitamins, plus they're dangerous if you overdose because of those lame-o ingredients)...I take the PRE-NATAL CARE vitamins by TWINLAB...(in capsule-form)they are awesome I can feel the difference in my body when I take them, for one thing when I was nursing I didn't get sick and throw up when I took them...if I took those cheesy prescription vitamins I get sick and throw up-can't hold my food down(like i was pregnant even though I was only nursing, STILL... I WAS feeding another besides me)...I was nursing my first child when I got pregnant w/the second and my body just stopped producing milk sooo...weening time! But this time I was nursing the 2nd and my breasts kept producing...the nausea was overwhelming...I was eating salad everyday...now I'm sick of it..taking lots o the vitamins w/whatever I can handle was the best bet...but the nausea didn't pass until a week after I weaned my boy down to nap and nightime nursing(only twice a day for maybe 10 to 20 mins)..so how healthy you are and the food and vitamins you take...the kind of nutrition is actually being absorbed into your body can account for the nausea...eat alot of healthy food (whole grain bread not white, for one) get good vitamins and be faithful in taking them and nausea should pass, (all doctor will say is carry crackers around and drink lots of water and prescribe nausea reducing vitamins so you need to deal w/it on your own) ;)
