Vitamins

MrsSarahLMrsSarahL
in 1st Trimester
I have been taking regular prenatal vitamins since my bfp.  The things is that I have a really hard time swallowing pills.  Sometimes I couldn't even swallow asprin.  I have a pill chopper and split the pill in two pieces.  I still choke and gag on it most nights.  I have heard that you can take the flintstones vitamins in the 1st tri, but that you should switch regular vitamins in the 2nd tri.  Any suggestions for pills that are easier to swallow or even chewable?

    Take 2 Flintstones with Iron.  Seriously- this is what my OB tells all her patients :-)

    I've got nothing, but ask your doctor... I'm sure they'd be able to help. GL!

    My OB told me 2 flinstone completes can be used all throughout the pregnancy. Also, target makes a chewable prenatal, but I havn't tried it because when I compared the labels of that and the flinstones, the flinstones seemed better to me, so I stuck with that. The only thing is the flinstones don't have DHA in them, so my OB suggested an additional DHA supplement, Target has one that is fairly small and easy to swallow, I've been taking it without any problem and I'm horrible with pills!
