[|Human|] I am pregnant (9 weeks) and I have been prescribed follic acid tablets and Vitamin B supplements (Bevon). When i take Vitamin B tablets, I feel nauseated immediately vomit.Is Vitamin B supplement required during pregnancy? If vomitting continues, can this be discontinued? Is this mandatory to use Vitamin B supplements? Any alternative vegetarian food options?
[|AI|]  Hi there, Nausea and vomiting is very common in first 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you feel that the vitamin B tablets are causing you to feel nauseated, you could definitely discontinue them. It is not mandatory to take supplements in pregnancy, unless you have a documented deficiency or follow an unhealthy diet. The folic acid is the only vitamin that is proved to be beneficial in first 12 weeks and thus is recommended. The usual dose recommended is 400 micrograms. You can take other multivitamins if required after 20 weeks to prevent the nausea, as this pregnancy induced morning sickness usually subsides after 20 weeks. Hope this helps. Regards.
