Question: Does taking prenatal pills make your stomach hurt? since it has a lot of iron?
im using them so i can get my vitamins and plus i heard it makes your nails grow faster and healthy

Answers:

Yes, they can make your stomach hurt and they can constipate you. Take them at mealtime or bedtime to reduce the pains, and make sure you drink LOTS of water and eat plenty of fiber or take a fiber supplement.

I hope you aren't taking them if you aren't pregnant. The dosage in them is too high for a non-pregnant female and can cause you to overdose on some of the ingredients.

And your nails and hair grow faster and healthier when you are pregnant because of the pregnancy, not because of the vitamins.



Mine does say to take with plenty of water, and to take with food, so yeah, I bet it probably might upset the stomach if you don't.



No that wouldn't make sense. You might be overdosing though.
I can't remember how much iron is in them but if it's for pregnant women that has extra iron. Buy regular vitamins.



they can constipate you, so watch for that.
