F word!

in 2nd Trimester

I just got my prescription prenatals in the mail and instead of getting the PrimaCare One's that I ordered, they sent me PreCare Chewables (by the same company). F that! Upon calling, they told me that the company that manufactures the PCO's is not making them right now or they are not available...some BS!!!! So, since I've already wasted a crap load of money on prenatals that don't agree with my stomach and don't help in the BM dept, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not interested in these or any other chewables, as I don't want to taste my vitamins. UGH!!!!!

    I take the over the counter One A Day brand prenatal vitamins. They cost $13 for a 30-day supply at Walmart. I have never gotten sick from taking them and I'm not constipated either. :)

    All the RX Pnv I tried made me feel super crappy. I bought OneSource PNV from Walmart and they are great.no probs with them at all. I also take Expectra DHA supplements.

    I take OTC ones from Giant - their CareFirst brand.  120 pills (60 days) for like $10.  I also take them at night since I was forgetting to take them in the AM, but that might help if they upset your stomach.

    I take OTC too.  The prescription ones given to me make me sick all day, or if I take it at night, I wake up sick (or get sick in the middle of the night)....

    So Kroger brand it is.

    I've been able to take PNVs, but I've had several friends swear by Flintstones. Just make sure you take an extra folic acid supplement w/ them - the recommended dosage isn't high enough in Flintstones. You need 800 mcg, not 400. ?

    I am going to see if I can just send those back and get my money back.  I am already taking extra folic acid per my dr, so I think I should be alright with an OTC one. I have a few left till I can get to the store.

    Thank you all for your input!
