Neither prenatal care nor prenatal vitamins are likely to have much of an effect on your morning sickness. You'll obviously get some guidance in prenatal care on how to reduce it if it's a problem, they may prescribe you medication if it's causing dehydration (although this is incredibly rare). Just don't hold your breath for that mythical first trimester morning sickness relief...take your prenatal vitamins before bed...keep ginger candy handy, you will be fine.
Some doctors (mine included) advise taking extra calcium because the growing baby is taking a lot of your supply. Vitamin B6 may help with "morning" sickness. The reason to separate between taking calcium and prenatals is the absorption of iron. If your prenatal has low levels of calcium then separate calcium from prenatal and that way you will absorb both. If your prenatal is high on calcium, then it doesn't matter anyhow. In that case you might cinsider taking iron separately. That was my case.
Yes. It's called "morning sickness."
No, taking prenatal vitamins won't impact on your period. Prenatal pills are typically vitamins, which could see you have a better period all together, but won't be a major change.
If you haven't stopped your period, and you aren't getting morning sickness, Then WHAT are these pregnancy symptoms you say you are experiencing?
Most pregnant women will suffer through a bout of morning sickness. Some women will not get it as often while others can have it through many months of their pregnancy. It is the most common to get it during the early part of pregnancy.A lot of women find out that they are pregnant by starting to have morning sickness. It has been known to start as early as the fourth week of pregnancy, but more commonly starts during the sixth week. The worst sickness happens mainly in the next four to six weeks. The majority of the women will be finishing with morning sickness before the fourth month, however some will continue on longer. There are a few women who will suffer with this all the way through the pregnancy.Even though it’s called morning sickness because it mainly happens after waking up in the morning, it can still last the entire day. There are several theories on what causes morning sickness, but no one knows exactly what causes it. One of those reasons is the rapid rise of hormones, especially estrogen, in early pregnancy. However, this doesn’t explain why some women will continue to have morning sickness even longer. Another theory is that in early pregnancy the woman has a very strong sense of smell and food or fragrance smells can overwhelm her.Other interesting ideas that may explain morning sickness are women that get migraine headaches, suffer from motion sickness, have a mother or other family members who have had it and even some say it’s because they are carrying a girl.A morning sickness problem can easily keep the woman from eating properly. She should be taking a prenatal vitamin with low iron or no iron. Iron can only add to the nausea. The vitamin will replace the nutrients that are being lost by not eating right and vomiting. These vitamins are best taken with food or right before bedtime.Some women will eat smaller, but more frequent meals throughout the day. Snacking on something bland like crackers can also help settle the stomach. Sipping cold, carbonated drinks in between the meals will also help.If the morning sickness does become too severe, see the physician and find out if there are other options to try.
yes, especially if you take it at night. try taking the pill earlier in the day or eating after you take it at night
Of Course not.

first of all, morning sickness is a little misleading. it doesn't always happen in the morning. and it is not the same every single day. sometimes you will feel nausious without puking, and other times you will puke. sometimes, something like a smell, or seeing a certain food, or taking even a drink of something, will cause you to feel nausious.
It is recommended that all women of child bearing age take prenatal vitamins.If you are trying to get pregnant and haven't started taking them, you should start taking them now.
You might be pregnant... Prenatal vitamins do not affect ovulation.
