Question:
I am experiencing severe nausea and vomiting. I am taking Diclectin 2 tablets at bedtime, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. It helps a bit, but not much. I miss at least one or two days a week at work. It is having a real impact on my mood.
My question is, do I really need to keep taking the multivitamin? I am 9w3d pregnant, and I DREAD the time of day when I take the thing because it makes me SO much worse. I am not taking it on an empty stomach.
Thanks.
Answer:
If the multivitamin is making you feel worse you should stop taking it until your NVP has subsided.
