Yeah its because they don't have iron, which will make you both nauseated and constipated. I love them . I was a little worried about the iron but my blood test came back fine I think. I'll confirm on Thursday with my doc. But ita. So much better than the horse pills I took last time.
Love them! Got special permission from my dr since my iron was good and my stomach was not, but the bottle looks like it might end just about week 12 so I might ask for a prescription at that point.
I am taking the spring valley gummy prenatals with DHA and Folic Acid. I have been taking them for two years. I have the horse pills as back up. I think all vitamins should be yummy.
I had them last pregnancy and they were great, like eating gummy bears. I did take an iron supplement though and those were awful to swallow. They left a metallic taste in your mouth.
I switched to gummies this time around and am loving them. I was certainly happy to see that the one a day's had gotten smaller, but they were still gross to take. Love my gummies!
I started on the VitaFusion gummies and I love em. My doc didn't care which ones I took as long as it had the folic acid and all that good stuff. I don't do pills very well to begin with so, they wouldn't have been an option anyway. They would have ended up crushed in some pudding or ice cream.
samounthak - I don't refrigerate them, I keep them in the bathroom where they get nice and steamed up twice a day! Uh oh! I figure as long as the sugar crystals on the outside are still crunchy they're fine! I used to take Flintstones vitamins and those were definitely in rough shape by the end of the bottle because of the humidity, but the bottle lasted forever with those...

I take these ones too. They are wonderful. DH said he wanted to try them because he says they smell so good. I got a trial of the hard pills from the doctor when I went for my first visit and showed them to DH. He stopped giving me a hard time about "wiping out the hard pills".
I take them. I loved thrm before nausea kicked in. Now they make me feel more sick ehile chewing them. :-/
I have the same exact problem! I loved then the first week or so but now I dread them. I make sure I have plenty of drink nearby and take them right before I go to sleep!

I've always had a hard time swallowing pills so trying to take the horse pill prenatal was hard for me! I switched to the vitafusion gummies this week as well, was close to asking the doctor if I could take the Flinstone chewables as well lol!
