Gummy prenatals?

Jillwithani · November 2011

While shopping for pre-natals I picked up the gummy kind because I have a bit of a sweet tooth and an aversion to giant pills. They taste great! Has anyone else used these or have any thoughts? I highly recommend.

Yes. They are great for those with m/s! The only downfall is that they don't have iron in them.

I have been taking them for a while now and I like them. I did have to find a gummy dha supplement because it didn't contain a high enough level to make my ob happy. So now I take gummy prenatals and gummy dha

I love the gummy prenatals!! Just make sure you are also taking an iron supplement, because they don't have any iron in them.

Thanks for the info on iron, I'll have to look into some additional vitamins. Smile

I took them for a while in 1st tri when I was too nauseaous for anything else and they were definitely a lifesaver. I agree w/ pp though, definitely look into an iron supplement as you get further into the pregnancy.

I LOVE my prenatal gummies. I switched to them a month an a half ago and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. I have yet to forget to take them and I take them before I go to bed, so it's the perfect end to the day. I take the Up and Up brand from Target.

To be honest? I thought they were great for about a week, maybe two - because they didn't make me feel sick like my prescription ones were. But then I was completely over the sweet gummy taste and hated having that flavor after every dinner. Now I'm back to taking the one-a-day PNVs...they don't have quite the same ingredients as the prescription ones, but the prescriptions still make me queasy.

I agree, actually I thought they were good for a few months, but now I am so sick of them and the same flavors over and over. Maybe it's because I've been taking them since my first pregnancy. I also started craving chalk and sand.....so, as PP said, now I need that iron that the gummies don't have! I take the One A Day Prenatals now too.

Hi, I used the vitafusion before I got pregnant for 6 months are my first 10 weeks, I ended up with Iron deficiency b/c there is 0 iron. I recommend the prescription citranatal harmony, they are very easy on my stomach and I tried many other types.

hope this helps

This. I tried the Vitafusion ones after I couldn't stomach swallowing pills anymore, but didn't realize they didn't have iron. I ended up having low iron levels and need to take iron supplements now (even on top of my regular PNV pill that has iron in it).
