Brief Answer:
Need to discuss with your obstetrician

Detailed Answer:
Hi
GREETINGS
ARE YOU taking livogen after breakfast?.Some of the iron tablets can cause gastritis or vomiting .Vomiting started after livogen or before that?
If before that it could be pregnancy related.
In either case it is better to discuss with your obstetrician and take medicine for nausea and Vomiting or change to another iron tablet.
Hope my answer helps you.
Till then you can skip livogen .
Regards
