Prenatal gummies

in March 2014 Moms
I've always taken these at night and the last week or so I think they've made me feel horrible.  I've been taking them since 3mos before the BFP - why now!? I can't take pills... ugh I wonder if it's just the taste?  I tried to switch it up and took them this morning and I think it's going to come up any minute now... anyone else who's taking these have problems with them?

    nope my doc has me on extra folic acid and calcium and iron for the twins. But I do take mine at night with milk to help them go down smoothly. if I took them in the morning I would def throw them up. I threw up toothpaste today. Or at least it felt that way.

    I have been taking the gummies too because I can't swallow pills all of a sudden. I haven't had any aversion to them. Hopefully your tummy will settle soon! If you can swallow small pills you can try cutting up the prenatals.

    The gummies are hard on me too lately. Anything sweet doesn't sit well with me anymore.,

    I always take mine with food for this reason.

    The gummies were working great for me too, and since Saturday, I have been violently throwing up at night, and that is the only thing I can think of that is causing it - tonight I am going to try and swallow the other horse pill vitamins and see if that helps.  Puking for an hour before bed it just not that much fun :(

    I think I'm going to try the food thing that's an awesome idea I bet it helps!!!!

    And @bennieangel - no they don't have iron in them.  You would need to take extra iron if your iron counts are low (Your Dr. should have told you)

    I have prescription chewable vitamins with iron. They taste like Flintstones vitamins! I started having a horrible gag reflex a few weeks into my pregnancy and when I talked to my OB about not being able to take pills (and having a history of iron deficiency anemia) this was her solution. Works great for me!

    I chew mine up just before I lay down to go to bed.. I follow up with about a half bottle of water.. brush my teeth, then off to bed.
