Vitafusion Gummies anyone?

I was just wondering if any of you ladies are taking the Vitafusion Gummy prenatal vitamins.  I started out with the GNC brand but I couldnt swallow them to save my life so I've been taking the gummy ones.  I'm getting a littte burnt out on the taste of them but otherwise so far so good.

    I really like them!  They're the only ones that don't make me sick...probably because they don't have iron, which is really the only drawback to them.

     This was my concern as well.  Are you taking an iron supplement with them?

    I am also taking these. I spoke with my NP yesterday and she said there are plenty of other ways to get Iron without having to resort to supplements. She said the gummy vitamins were just fine.

    Its probably just me being me, but I have to resist eating all the red ones and saving all the lemon ones for last Big Smile

     No, the iron makes me sick.  My doctor said for now it's okay if I just try to get plenty of iron in my diet; we'll re-evaluate later if need be.

    I just picked some of these up today because the PNV I've been taking in the 2+ years I've been TTC make me gag.  I'm hoping this will help me keep something down.

    I've taken these for over two years now!  (1st preg, nursing, and now)  I love them.  FYI: not only do they not have iron, they also do not contain calcium.  I don't eat a lot of dairy (intollerance), so I picked up some calcium chews today too (as well as iron.)  You could easily get calcium and iron from your food if you make sure to eat the things that contain it.

    Yes I have them and love them. They are the only prenatal I've actually taken every day since they taste so good. Even with nausea I can usually stomach them. I'm almost out and want to use up the zillions of free samples my OB gave me before I buy more... but I just might cave and buy some more sooner!

    I took them after I won a bottle from a blog giveaway a month or so ago, they were good, but it kind of felt like I was eating candy. =)

    For what it's worth, I take the Walgreen's brand prenatal vits and don't think they're too bad.  Heck of a lot smaller than the DHA at least!

    I've been taking them for a while! I loved them, until they started making me nauseous, now I am taking new ones. Ironically enough they are giant, but I take them with applesauce and make sure I have food in my belly and I'm fine. I think they are Natures Made?
