It's best just to skip the vitamin for now or try taking JUST a folic acid supplement and see what happens sicne the folic acid is probably the most important component of your vitamin right now. If you still get sick resume taking your pre-natals again in a few weeks and see how you do. Lots and lots of women can't take pre-natals in teh first trimester-myself included. It's better not to take the vitamin and stay nourished, hydrated and have some semblance of a life than to be sick, dehydrated and miserable all the time just for the sake of that pill.
