We explored whether stopping iron-containing prenatal multivitamins could alleviate nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. In a study involving 97 women seeking help for severe nausea, we discovered that two-thirds reported an improvement after switching to alternatives like folic acid or children's vitamins.
This significant finding, backed by both qualitative and quantitative measures, shows that avoiding iron supplements in early pregnancy may be beneficial for many women struggling with nausea.

We aimed to understand how prenatal multivitamins, particularly those containing low doses of iron, affect women with existing gastrointestinal (GI) issues during pregnancy. By comparing women with and without GI conditions, we found that those with GI issues did not have more side effects or lower adherence to taking multivitamins.
In fact, they may have experienced less severe nausea and vomiting compared to women without GI conditions. This suggests that small, low-dose iron prenatal vitamins should still be considered a viable option for pregnant women with such pre-existing conditions.

Prenatal vitamins and nausea insights
We examined how two different prenatal multivitamins impacted nausea in pregnant women. Our study involved 135 participants who tried both PregVit, which contains less iron, and Materna, with a higher iron level.
We found that PregVit led to lower rates of constipation, making it more tolerable for users. Interestingly, with Materna, higher nausea and vomiting were linked to lower compliance. In contrast, these issues didn’t affect how well women tolerated PregVit.

Excellent! This prenatal vitamin is comprehensive and does not cause nausea when taken without food. I only add a DHA supplement and appreciate the high vitamin D content of 2000IU. However, the pill is quite large and crumbles when cut.

These multivitamins contain everything I need and are in a glass container, which I prefer. Although the pills are large, they are gentle on my stomach, easy to digest, and leave no aftertaste or nausea, making them a great option for me.

No nausea at all

I switched to these prenatal vitamins when I discovered I was pregnant, and they come with a variety of vitamins. Taking them on an empty stomach has been fine for me, with no nausea experienced. I cut the pill in half to take half in the morning and half in the evening. Cutting them is easy, and I've yet to encounter any nausea. The smell is slightly off-putting, but it doesn't affect me while taking them.

I started taking these vitamins at the end of my first trimester. They do not cause nausea, and the ingredients are excellent. Unfortunately, they often go out of stock. I would recommend them.

Typically, I feel nausea after taking multivitamins, but these are excellent.

Energy improvement
Although these vitamins are slightly expensive, my naturopath recommends them, especially for women over 35. Despite their large size and strong smell, they do not cause nausea like others I've tried. I appreciate that it's just one pill a day, and I feel more energetic since I began taking them.

Inconsistent dosage
I’ve purchased this product twice and have been disappointed by the inconsistency in vitamin D3 levels. My first purchase had 1600IU, then 1000IU on my second. I have a deficiency in vitamin D and hoped for improvement. However, this vitamin did not alleviate my nausea—if I take it during nausea, it often ends in vomiting.
