Inform the physician of any non-prescription vitamin, dietary supplement or herbal product you are taking. Follow the vitamin packaging directions. Most require that they be taken with food or meals and plenty of water.
Vitamins are less likely to cause nausea when taken with food.
Remember to drink plenty of fluids and include fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. The stool may turn black due to the additional iron contained in prenatal vitamins, and some women will experience constipation. Health Care Service Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
