Default vitamins

When we started TTC I switched from my regular multivitamin to a prenatal vitamin. It really upset my stomach (mild nausea with worse diarrhea) so I switched back to my regular multivitamin. I got my first BFP today and don't know how soon I will be able to get in to see my doctor to ask about the vitamins. My regular vitamin had 400mcg of folic acid as opposed to the 800 in the prenatal. I assume the iron was the problem with the prenatal but I can't find any without iron. Has anyone had a similar problem?

If the multivitamin is bad I will just switch back and deal with the stomach issue although it was not pleasant but I don't want to do anything bad to affect this pregnancy. The prenatal has 28mg of iron, would finding one with less iron work?

Well I don't really know anything about the iron, but if your prenatal makes you nauseous, you can just take 2 of those chewable flinstones vitamins. My doc said that it has the same amount of the important vitamans as the prenatal without the nausea.
