Flinstones Gummies??

I am about 6 weeks pregnant right now, and am having trouble with the prenatals making me sick. I have seen a few people say to try Flinstone gummies, but are they enough to supplement taking actual prenatals? My doctor is very "by the book" so I know she will tell me to take the prenatals.

    From what I have heard the Flinstones were ok pre pregnancy, but now that you are actually pregnant you should take the regular ones.  Im sure every doctor is different.  I had a problem with the script prenatals, so I got womens one a day pre natals and I have no issue.  Maybe try those?

    A lot of girls will take the flinstones chewables if they can't stomach the regular pnvs so I'd say that the gummies would be no different. Some even take the sour gummies because sour foods help settle their stomach. HTH

    I take 2 flintstone completes (make sure you get the completes b/c some of the others such as calium or the extra vitamin c) may not have enough folic acid and some of the other items. My doc is fine with that since taking 2 has 800 folic acid.

    My doctor told me 2 Flintstone Gummies and a glass of milk is all I need.

    I tried the regular ones, and I got sick.  I've tried about 5 prenatals since I got pregnant + regular Flintstones all which made me vomit.

    This is my only option, and like I said, my doctor told me it is the exact same thing.

    I tried multiple prenatals and chewable flinstones, all which made me sick.  I take 2 Flinstones Gummies along with one extra folic acid supplement every night.  My doc told me to do this and I feel sooo much better!

    My sister-in-law took them for the same reason.  They worked well for her.  My niece came out with the longest hair and fingernails! :)

    I get so sick off my prentals if I take them in morning so now I just eat something before bed, take the prenatal, drink a glass of water and go to bed. I don't have to deal with being more sick than I already feel all day :(

    I still take the flinstones (2 a day).  They have the same good stuff in them and taste a hell of a lot better.
