I have been taking the gummy prenatal vitamins and I told my dr today about those and she said that they are still good to take but taking a "regular" vitamin would be better. But how are you suppose to swallow those "horsepills"? Can you somehow break them or for those who have a hard time swallowing a big pill how do you do it or what would you suggest?

Dear God, Since I couldn't hold my little one in my lap and tell him about you, could you hold him in your lap and tell him about me?
PgAL and PAL always welcome...First- @beth&derek- LOVE your cat pic- looks like mine.
Sto71- When I told my OB Hubby and i were trying to conceive and asked for prenatals- he prescribed OB complete one. Yea they're kinda big so i drink with lots of water. If your pills are time release- it is not advised to break it up as it will not disolve the way intended.

Pinterest: LO ... somedayI can't relate to those who have trouble swallowing pills. I've never had a problem. I just take a sip of water and swallow. Smaller pills (like when I was on BCP) I could do without water.
I do have a coworker that can't swallow any pills (not even itty bitty BCP). I'd have to imagine that it's more of a mental thing than anything else. She even has trouble brushing her teeth. She actually had to crush up her prenatals and added them to yogurt of applesauce or chewed them. She has to do the same thing with Tylenol or any other pill.
I have issues swallowing pills also, my doctor prescribed me chewable prenatals and said they are fine. But maybe you can ask her to find you smaller prenatals that you can take more often like PP suggested?
