We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the relationship between nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) and dysmenorrhea measured by a verbal rating scale. Our research included 443 pregnant women, divided into those experiencing NVP and a control group.
From our findings, we noticed a clear association between moderate to severe dysmenorrhea and a heightened risk of NVP, especially during the first trimester. This suggests that those with painful menstrual symptoms may face an increased likelihood of nausea and vomiting as part of their pregnancy experience.
Importantly, we also examined the impact of periconceptional supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Our results indicated that taking DHA could potentially lower the risk of NVP, offering a glimmer of hope for managing nausea during pregnancy. This suggests that combining DHA with standard prenatal care might be beneficial for those who struggle with these symptoms.
Overall, our study sheds light on the intricate connections between menstrual pain and pregnancy-related nausea, emphasizing the potential protective role of DHA in improving women's health during this time.

Increased nausea from smell

I didn't like the flavour. It was a good product until my sense of smell heightened and nausea set in. Every time I opened the bottle, the smell made me gag.

Minimal nausea experienced

I can keep these down. I become queasy when taking vitamins without a large meal, so I was worried about buying expensive prenatal vitamins. These gel caps are large, but relatively easy to swallow. I've used them for two days with breakfast. I felt a tiny bit nauseous on the first day, but after eating some pretzels, it was gone. Given my sensitivity, these get two thumbs up!

Nausea relief success

Sickness in a bottle! I switched to this one a day as I was tired of taking three pills. Initially, I noticed little difference due to first trimester nausea. However, the nausea worsened in the second trimester, and I struggled to eat, losing weight. After forgetting to take it for two days, I felt much better and the nausea disappeared! I then took it again and returned to feeling unwell. I switched brands and now take it twice daily without nausea! I do not recommend this prenatal; it will only make you miserable.

Extreme nausea experienced
4 people found this helpful
Do not recommend. I cannot confirm the cause: manufacturing or sourcing from Amazon, but these pills went sour on me. I didn't have this experience when purchased in-store. The vitamins from here caused significant nausea and half the bottle went bad. The interior of the bottle is yellow, emits a foul fish oil smell, and clearly hasn't kept well. I'm extremely disappointed.
