Are prenatal vitamins the cause of my discomfort?
I am TTC and started taking prenatal vitamins a few days ago thinking I would get ahead of the game just in case I concieved this month. I am in tremendous discomfort. I have gas, bloating, cramping ,heartburn and constipation. Although I actually had 2 bms today and 1 yesterday. Normally I think of constipation as having really hard, small stools and these were not. (Sorry if tmi-just trying to explain) They were normal stools, but the discomfort is still there. I took 1 vitamin over 24 hours ago and none the 2 days before that. Could one little pill still be affecting me like this? And if so, how much longer do you think it will take to get relief?
I have read that these can also be early pregnancy signs(constipation at least), that is why I was wondering about others experiences with prenatal vitamins

They make me feel awful-- I take them literally right before I go to sleep. The worst for me is the way they taste when you burp. (gross, sorry) It's like dirt though. They are packed with good stuff though-- a lot of them have a stool softener in them now. Try to get some prescription ones from your doc. They are much more gentle then the OTC ones. Good idea for starting them early! Good luck!

They're doing the same thing to me- I've heard that it's the iron in them, but I'm not entirely sure about that. You may want to switch brands and see if this helps. Good luck!!!
