My gummy prenatals are too sweet!

Can anyone recommend their gummy prenatal vitamins?  It has to be gummy because the other ones give me the worst heartburn.  I take the Vitafusion Prental + DHA right now but they are so sweet I gag every time I eat them.  I used to LOVE sweets, but ever since I got pregnant I can't stand anything sweet, which I suppose is a good thing!  I think it is the sugary coating the Vitafusion ones have that I can't stand anymore.  TIA!

    I'm taking the Vitafusion ones as well and like PP said, at first they were fine but now I can barely stand the taste (especially the lemon ones).  But they are so easy on my stomach and I have a hard time swallowing pills that I just suffer through it and try to eat something right after that will mask the taste.  I wish I could find a prenatal vitamin with a small pill to swallow.

    My pill is the size of a horse pill it seems! But it hasn't made me sick since the first time I took it, and I have managed to choke it down with breakfast every day. Seriously why do they have to be so huge!?

     

    I know what you mean.  I started out with these ones from GNC and I couldnt get them down to save my life.  Not even with a pill cutter.

    Ugh! I thought I was the only ones hating the Vitafusions! I bought 2 bottles like an idiot cause my friend recommended them & I cant wait till they finish so I can move on to others. They leave such a nasty and dry taste in my mouth. I have heard that One a Day prenatals are good and i think they come in a gummy version. Check those out!

    Spring Valley has a prenatal that Walmart sells, they're pretty small. They're not too thick, kind of oval shaped and they're pretty slick when you have water in your mouth.

    Sorry, can't get TB to let me make this a smaller link.

    I am so glad to see this thread and know I'm not alone. My Vitafusion gummies have become super nasty to me over the last few weeks. I just dread taking them and even thinking about how I'll be having to taste them soon when it's almost time to take them makes me nauseous.  Unfortunately, I just opened a new bottle plus I know that swallowing big pills would probably also not go well, so I'll soldier on with the gummies.

    But, yuck!!

    I use the vitafusion gummies and I actually like them, swallowing the nature made pill ones were horrendous for me so I switched, the vitafusion has no iron though so after they are done I will have to go back to my naturemade ones...
