Radioactive waste

So when I went to my first appointment with my midwives (I have three), I asked about vitamins and they gave me a bottle of the kind they like, warning me that if they made me feel sick that I could cut back. I said that I had read that taking your pill at night before bed was a good time, as you went to sleep after. 
They said that that wouldn't quite work.
Why?
Because these ones you take 6 a day.
!SI!- oh ok. 
So I go home and think that I should work my way up to the 2 pills three times a day deal, and start out by just taking one at a time through out the day.
Now, I am pregnant so I get a "get out of stupid free card" here because looking back the two weeks I had been taking them, my sickness was at its worst... but what do I decide to do? Up the dose, of course. 
So I'm at work at lunch and think "Ok I'm going to try and swallow two of these size-of-a-horse pills today" and what happens...I get so sick I have to go home and my pee looks something like this:
(yes thats the color I painted our bedroom, but I wasn't thinking of this comparison when I did - kid you not, I thought I was piss'n battery acid)

So needless to say I did cut back for a week and felt great. 
(Side bar: I found out from a gal at work that she got some sort of whatever poisoning form her prenatals and basically OD'd on vitamin A,D,K,E,C.....)

This was about a week and a half ago, and I've started taking them again -sparingly-


I have my next appointment on Thursday and will ask exactly what kind of organic Crack they're wanting me to feed my baby...
