Tricks for taking Vitamins?

MeggyO

I seriously need some! At this point I am taking a RIDICULOUS amount. I can handle the little guys. It's the big horse pills (prenatal, fish oil and calcium) that are hard. I take the pills with lots of water, trigger my gag reflex, swallow again, and can get it down. Unfortunately, I usually go and throw up my breakfast right after. The pills stay down, but not the food! Help!

I always took mine at night which seemed to help.  I also made sure to find a prenatal that wasn't a huge horse pill.  I don't know if your dr has you on a specific one, but I really liked the Target prenatal pills and also their gummie ones too.

For prenatal vitamins I require my doc to give me the chewable ones. I think they are called Natachew now. They don't smell funny and have a fruity taste (kind of like TUMS). Otherwise I will throw up.

I haven't spent much time on the bump lately - so I didn't see your announcement. Congrats!!

I switched to Flinstones vitamins while I was pregnant. My OB recommended it b/c those were the only ones I could handle. I took 2 instead of 1.

This is exactly what I've been doing

Regular prenatals made me ill. However, the gummy prenatals from Wal-mart have been awesome. Only way I could stand them.
