Now, I just take a regular multi. I asked my doc if it was really necessary to take double the amounts of regular vitamins in a prenatal, and she said no as long as I'm getting enough folic acid. I eat a ton of bread and cereal, so the folic acid component is under control :) Some people think it isn't necessary to supplement with vitamins at all. I do just to be on the safe side, but I would say the gummies are fine if that's what you can take. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-36881 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:59:39 +0000 katdevargas 36881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the gummies for a while, but I haven't been able to eat a lot of sweet stuff &amp; when I started dreading having to put those in my mouth b/c they were too sweet, I stopped taking them. I use your life multi prenatal &amp; while they're those huge pills, they have a super slick coating &amp; also smell {relatively} good, which a lot don't. so I'm able to get em down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-36866 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:46:55 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 36866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also used Rainbow Light. They're a bit cheaper if you get them on Amazon, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-36788 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 08:11:47 +0000 loveisstrange 36788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them for a tiny bit when I first got pregnant. They were okay at first, but then the gumminess started making me nauseous and grossing me out, so I stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-36786 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 08:08:36 +0000 Beyond2 36786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them but I don't know if I'll continue to after I am actually pregnant. They work fine for my current ttc stage though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-35919 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 14:59:26 +0000 pastemoo 35919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the gummies. They don't have iron, but I eat plenty of green veggies, so I'm covered. I like the gummies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-35866 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 13:24:46 +0000 lemondrop 35866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor recommended them- everything else made me throw up. He said his wife takes them, so if it was good enough for his wife and kid, its good enough for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-35598 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 19:35:29 +0000 jrenee 35598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take and love them, doctor said they were fine while TTC, may need something different once I get pregnant, but for now they are perfect for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-35448 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 15:49:43 +0000 heffalump 35448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well this explains why I was low on iron! I ended up taking an iron pill though.</p> <p>I used them because I'm awful at swallowing pills. Although it wasn't easy to take those either because like @tana_bk said they're pretty gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-35373 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:00:53 +0000 BSB 35373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For prenatal vitamins, I don't use the vitafusion brand but I use the Target brand one. I did worry about gummies not having iron in it but I started this thread. <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-prenatal-vitamin-contain-iron" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-prenatal-vitamin-contain-iron</a></p> <p>I heard they don't have iron in any gummy vitamins because of the possibility of kids getting to them and being fatal to them if they take too many.</p> <p>We do have the vitafusion mult-vitamin. My husband takes them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-35364 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:46:08 +0000 Jenn23 35364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been taking the vitafusion gummies for over a year now. I love them. I don't care about them not having iron since I get enough iron thru diet, but if I didn't I would take an iron supplement. I love the taste and I have such trouble swallowing giant pills so that is why I selected these! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34307 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:26:31 +0000 tessabella76 34307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take the Target version of the gummies. They are the only ones that don't make me nauseous. I do take a iron suppplument as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34274 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:23:46 +0000 cyndistar3 34274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tana_bk: It's the after taste/ coating it leaves in my mouth that I hate the most lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34272 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:21:45 +0000 cyneswith 34272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them. I plan to switch to something more substantial when I'm actually pregnant, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34262 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:05:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 34262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the VitaFusion gummies and I think they taste disgusting. They have this sugar stuff on the outside and I hate it. I prefer the taste of the regular One A Day gummies way better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34247 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 18:14:51 +0000 Boogs 34247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them, loved them, and my doctor didn't have a problem with it. I also took the calcium. In fact, I continue to take vitamins and they are all gummies. I always made sure to take them with food to help with the nausea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34162 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:49:09 +0000 chopsuey 34162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got super nauseous when I took pills so I switched over to gummies. As long as you're getting the required amount of folic acid you should be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34151 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:41:25 +0000 Mrsbells 34151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take citra natal harmony, I had problems with 2 other prenatals but these are great </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34149 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:38:23 +0000 carrieknitscake 34149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Yep, no iron, low DHA amount, and calcium I believe. I just felt that they weren't doing anything for me to get my body ready for pregnancy. I went back to my Trader Joe's Fish Oil pill when I started Rainbow Light. I've always gotten them cheap at Target too. I grabbed extra folic acid for when I drink green tea, but my doctor told that it wasn't necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34148 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:37:38 +0000 mrs.inkspot 34148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to take those until my husband bought me some other brand for some reason. A nutritionist once told me that gummy vitamins are absorbed more effectively than pill vitamins. </p> <p>One thing to note about the vitafusion is that I don't think they have any iron or calcium so you should look into taking seperate iron and calcium supplements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34147 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:35:29 +0000 mrsjazz 34147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@carrieknitscake: I second Rainbow Light. They never made me nauseous. I tried the VitaFusion gummies before and I think they don't have any iron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34136 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:25:56 +0000 carrieknitscake 34136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Rainbow Light. I used to take Vitafusion gummies. Rainbow Lights are pretty easy to take. Vitafusion just didn't have enough of what I wanted out of a prenatal, so I switched. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34132 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:23:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 34132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rainbow Light brand prenatals are very easy on the stomach, and if you get the “petite” sized pills, the pills are pretty manageably sized (you have to take 3 vs. 1 pill a day, but they are easier to take than a big horsepill!).</p> <p>If your main concern is folic acid levels, you could just take a folic acid supplement instead of a multi-vit prenatal. I take Nature’s something brand, and the pills are very small. I take 2 at once and have no issues either taking them or with nausea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34127 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:21:19 +0000 DillonLion 34127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take a gummi pre-natal as well. I can't choke down giant pills and pray I never have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34124 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:20:01 +0000 Pipers Mommy 34124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think the gummies have Iron in them so I ended up using a supplement and then ended up switched back to a pill with iron. They definitely go done easier than any of the horse pills though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34123 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:18:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 34123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love love love these gummies. You take 2 per day so if you are really sensitive you can take one in the morning and one at night. They also don't have any artificial dyes or coloring. The only thing I noticed is that they do not have a lot of iron in them so you may need an additional iron supplement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34122 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:17:19 +0000 cyndistar3 34122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them and my midwife asked me to get something better as soon as I could keep something more down. I ended up getting these Spring Valley prenatal vitamins from walmart, they have more good stuff and they actually aren't that hard to take. I have had major problems with nausea too and they have a coating that makes them so you can't really smell them, they aren't that huge and for me they were actually easier to handle than the gummies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34120 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:14:36 +0000 leelee 34120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them and love them! I was taking the One a day ones but they made me nauseous. I haven't had any issues with the gummies :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vitafusion-prenatal-gummies#post-34116 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:11:40 +0000 MH.Abroad 34116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering if anyone else uses or has used the VitaFusion Prenatal Gummies.<br /> I have an impossible time trying to get down the giant horse pills that most prenatal vitamins are (I've only just recently learned to even get any pills down), and I have issues with nausea as well.</p> <p>It seems like the gummies would make them easier to take and keep down, but I've heard a few bad reviews about the actual content of these vitamins.</p> <p>I can't exactly ask my doctor either, since I'm currently living overseas in a third world country and I just was planning on taking these for pre-TCC until I get back to the states and get an actual doctor.</p> <p>Any thoughts? </p>
