Prenatals & headaches

[libee17]

I began my pregnancy with prenatal vitamins from whole foods (rainbow something), during the time I was taking them I often and frequently had horrible migraine type headaches but I was also in my first trimester. When I ran out of my supply I switched to trader joes prenatal vitamins and suddenly my headaches were minimal and def not as strong, but I also thought that could be due to me moving into my second trimester (well oops, turns out I had just bought the reg women's vitamins), so then I bought trader joes prenatal vitamins (and double checked the label this time , now two days later I am experiencing a migraine of epic proportion. Do you think these headaches could be caused by something in the ore Ayala? Or is it just a fluke? Any thoughts would be great. I am now 17 + 4 days

They could be - and while prenatals are a gd idea to take all the way through, they're only ESSENTIAL for the first 12 weeks or so. If they're making you suffer, and you have a fairly balanced diet (not veggie or anything) then you might be ok without them hun.

I'd say in that case, then the side effects outweigh the benefits.
