Flinstone vitamins as prenatal vitamins?

Question

Has anyone ever taken flinstone vitamins as a prenatal vitamin because the others make you sick? My doctor said it was ok since the other make me vomit.

Answer 1

I would listen to what your doctor says...I once compared the ingredients of Flintstones to another and they were almost identical...Good luck to you!!!

Answer 2

I take them because I have pregnancy anemia and I have to take extra iron and iron pills make me very sick, so I get the flintstone vitamins with extra iron and they seem to be working fine and my doctor is fine with it too!

Answer 3

I did with all 3 of my pregnancies and my kids are perfect.

Answer 4

Yup! Plenty of women do this. You still get a good amount of vitamins, but you don't get as sick. A lot of women get sick from pre-natals. Flinstones are perfectly fine.

Answer 5

I DO..in fact I took them with my son, but make sure you take 2 since those are formulated as kid's doses.

Answer 6

I suppose if your doctor said it's okay then it should be okay.  You should buy some folic acid as well though because the Flintstones vitamins don't have that in it and it is very important in pregnancy.   You can just get them at any drug store.  Also my prenatal vitamins were making me throw up as well and I told my doctor and she said to take them after I have eaten a meal, and it completely works I don't get sick at all.  So you could try that.

Answer 7

I did and its fine.

Answer 8

I take Flintstone vitamins with iron.  I take one in the morning and one at night. My doctor says its fine.  

Answer 9

Yes, They work great and are yummy! Plus they don't make you sick or constipated

Answer 10

I have and much improvement from the prenatals. Oh and don't get the flinstone gummies because they don't have all the stuff that the chewables do.

Answer 11

This was posted before and everyone said yes.

I would recommend following the doctor's instructions.  Some vitamins are better than nothing at all.

Answer 12

did you try taking prenatal before bed? Thats the only time I can take mine without getting sick... But I am always sick in the mornings.. but at least I get all the nutrients..

I am sure you are fine if you doctor agrees. Just try and get more folic acid and other good vitamins in food and stuff.!

Answer 13

i just started taking those a few weeks ago.  its the first vitamin bottle that i finished. usually i forget to take them or i get scared of the nausea.  not the flintstone, its good.
