Hello! When I was pregnant and taking prenatal vitamins, they made me extra nauseous. A doc told me it was because of the iron in these vitamins. I am not so sure if these vitamins can cause headaches. I haven’t heard of it before. I am sure that you could talk to your doctor about this problem. I am sure s/he will be able to diagnose the source of your headache and give you proper medications that won’t hurt your baby. Good luck with your pregnancy!

I think my prenatal vitamins are giving me headaches as well. I've been getting headaches alot recently and i didn't know why. Today i noticed right after i took my vitamin my head started hurting. Coincidence??? i don't know. I'm going to monitor this a little more closer from today on and see if it's actually the vitamins that's causing my headaches.

I have been taking prenatal vitamins since late October...my husband and I are trying to get pregnant, but I have noticed that I have been gaining weight....Only when I was taking the vitamins didi I notice this...Do these vitamins cause weight gain and do they prohibit you from losing the weight that you gained? I am so confused!!

I just figured out that I'm having the same problem. I've been taking prenatal for a few months and I've gained weight too. Your not Alone. But I don't know what else to do?

Yes! I have the same problem! Massive headaches that are really strange in location. Last night I woke up because it was so intense. I too think the prenatals that I was just given correlate with the headaches because as soon as I started taking the prenatals was the onset of the headaches. I am taking "Prenatal + DHA". Anyone else have these problems?

I had dha fortified juice and instantly had a headache. It started to go away, and the next time I had the juice I had a more severe headaches, Even though beneficial for most people, could it be hurting a rare number?

I also had the same issue with vitamins and found that if I take them prior to eating, my head will be pounding, however, if I take them in the morning, right after I've eaten breakfast, I get no side effects. Hope this helps.
