Loss of Appetite After Going Off of Prenatal V...please Help Posted: 11-13-05 02:17am
I am almost 26 weeks pregnant now and have
had cramping and lower back pain which I
now know are normal..But here is the
thing..I get heart burn really bad from my
pre-natal vitamins to where I can not even
get comfortable at night it gets so bad
that I have to throw up. If I fight it at
night as soon as I wake up in the morning
the feeling is right there again waiting.
So I went off of my prenatals this
week...The heart burn is till there but
not as bad, and I have not thrown uo
once...But now I have lost my appetite..I
could eat once a day and be fine...If I
eat a hamburger I feel so full that I can
barely stand it..As with everything
else..Eating has become something that I
have to make myself do..I am not a small
woman either so it's not like I never ate
before..I love to eat...Is this normal or
has anyone had this problem?

I would tell your dr & have him switch
your prenatal vitamins. That might help.
But you definately should be taking some
kind of vitamins.

Take maalox, I was having a hard time with
heartburn tums,rolaids etc were just candy
and I had a presciption for some strong
stuff that I cant take while prego.
Whatever you do dont take pepto bismol
(sorry dont know spelling) as it contains
other stuff that could be harmful to
pregnancy (ibuprofein and something else)
talk with dr they will know what to do.

Thank you everyone for your advice:) I
have to go back to the pharmacy today to
pick up my prenatals so hopefully I can
control the heart-burn with a little
medicine...Just wish I could eat again
