Pre-Natal Vitamins

I got a great brand of pre-natal vitamin, but I have to swallow them, and this morning while trying I threw up everywhere!  (I have horrible "morning"sickness anyways - lasts all day).  I remember seeing gummy bear pre-natal vitamins.  Anyone tried these?  Or any help on how to take my vitamins without puking!?!  Thanks!!! :)

  • Yes, I have seen them.  I haven't taken them.  I take Pre-Nexa which has a stool softener.  I also take my pill in the afternoon, bc I throw it up in the morning.

  • This EXACT thing happened to me last night! It was pretty harsh, haha. I am actually leaving work and going to buy some gummy pre-natals, because I can't deal with the others I have anymore! Vita-Fusion was recommended to me....

  • You can take children's chewable or gummy vitamins if you can't find the prenatal ones.  But you might need to take two of them along with extra folic acid to get to the amount of everything that is in a prenatal.  A folic acid pill will be much smaller and easier to swallow than a big prenatal pill.

  • I tried two different kinds before I tried the One a Day prenatal.  I always take them right before I fall asleep so there is less likely a chance I'll throw them up.  It didn't always help with the other brands and I would gag just trying to get them down.  But I haven't had any problems with the One a Day but this will only be my third night taking them.  I've also heard that your body absorbs the gummy vitamins better than pills.  Don't know if that's true though, I heard it from a friend.
