They don't taste great, but I don't think they taste bad either, and they are small enough to be easy to swallow (though you have to take 3). I haven't tried any others. </p> <p>A lot of the gummies, at least all that I checked, don't have much, if any, in the way of iron or calcium. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-swallow-prental-vitamins#post-266546 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 12:06:10 +0000 littlecasita1122 266546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Nature Made's Prenatal Multi-Vitamin. It also includes DHA. I like them because they're liquid softgels, so they're much easier to swallow. I hate hate hate swallowing pills (I used to chew children's tylenol in 8th grade for cramps instead of swallowing something) so these really aren't that bad as long as I take them with a small glass of milk. They do have a fishy sort of smell when you take them out of the bottle, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-swallow-prental-vitamins#post-266518 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:41:09 +0000 Mrsbells 266518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took citra-natal harmony during pregnancy, but now I am taking the gummies. My doctor told me the gummies and other OTC versions arent as good as some of the prescription pre-natals so I stuck to prescripstions during the pregnancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-swallow-prental-vitamins#post-266432 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:44:05 +0000 Muggle Born 266432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard a lot of the gummies don't have a lot of iron in them - is that true? Do you guys on gummies take a separate Iron supplement? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-swallow-prental-vitamins#post-266427 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:40:06 +0000 Shutterbug 266427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still struggling with this - I've tried the gummies (have a fishy taste, imo, but I think I'm being overly sensitive); the rainbow petites (much smaller than most, but smell/taste like dog food, so I still gag). I've heard the Target ones are good because they're not too big and they're coated, so those are the next on my list to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-swallow-prental-vitamins#post-266423 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:39:24 +0000 Running Elley 266423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gone with the chewable gummies from Target! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-swallow-prental-vitamins#post-266422 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:39:14 +0000 Rescuemom10 266422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take the gummy prenatal vitamins and they have DHA in them. Wallgreens is where I get mine. Vitafusion is the brand I believe. They are pretty yummy actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-swallow-prental-vitamins#post-266420 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:36:35 +0000 sorrycharlie 266420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've taken the Target brand - they're smaller than NyQuil pills. I don't find them that bad, but there's also the chewable gummy route! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-swallow-prental-vitamins#post-266418 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:35:00 +0000 Muggle Born 266418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some prenatal vitamins but they are large and hard for me to swallow. I'm trying to find something smaller or in a liquid form, that is pretty comprehensive. Also, it looks like DHA is important, but usually a separate pill - is that right? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks! </p>
