Morning sickness

Morning sickness and Folic acid??

Hi all, this may sound like some sort of crazy theory but i think the 2 are linked. I've found that if i take my folic acid in the morning before a shower, i get out the shower and hey presto i'm sick. However if i leave my folic acid and take it later on in the day i still feel sick but never actually throw up. Has anyone else found this?
Failing that it's the juice i'm drinking making me sick!!

Yep me too - much better if I take it at night - i'm kicking myself as I never realised the connection with my first and I was so sick.

Hmmm reading this I am taking a combined Folic acid and vitamin tablet every morning. I think I may be better if I take them at night so am gonna try and why are they so blimmin big? Pregnant women feel sick as it is and then have to swallow something that huge! I have to bite it in half and take it in two goes as it makes me gag!

Sorry sounds gross!

Makers of these tablets - please make them smaller!

I know they are massive. I am also on tablets for my sickness and they are so small. Why do they make them so big like we dont suffer enuf.

But i spose we just have to get on with it. I also found taking them at night made it easier.
