Second trimester I took Twinlab prenatals and loved them! I think they are gel-capsules so they go down easy, plus they pack more supplements than the gummies. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-188615 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:16:47 +0000 chopsuey 188615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take gummies, but prior to getting pregnant I was taking preferaOB. The pills are small! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-188082 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:11:50 +0000 purrpletulips 188082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first trimester I took the regular Naturemade brand Prenatal vitamins. Since week 24 I've been taking Naturemade Prenatal including DHA. I take them with food and have no problems with either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-187947 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:14:54 +0000 WALLAROO 187947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also taking the Trader Joe's prenatals.

Plus they have probiotics since I'm not regular and it's really helped in that department. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-187885 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 10:44:40 +0000 cyneswith 187885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rainbow Light are very complete nutritionally. But once morning sickness hit, I threw up hourly until I switched to gummies. Running out of the gummies in two days (at just shy of 16 weeks) - I hope I can manage the Rainbow Light again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-187868 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 10:37:53 +0000 monkeymum 187868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the new chapter perfect prenatal vitamins and the gummies. I also used to alternate between the two, but I'm okay with new chapter now. BTW the new chapter ones have a grassy smell to them, but it doesn't bother me too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-187664 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 07:41:51 +0000 sorrycharlie 187664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the OTC Target brand prenatal pill. It's only one a day, so I take that when I'm feeling okay (whether it happens to be morning or night that particular day). I alternated with the gummies when I wasn't able to swallow pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-187641 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 07:01:17 +0000 googly-eyes 187641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are so many out there. First I was taking the one a day ones with DHA supplement, and then I bought nature made, which made me gag, so I got the gummies. Now I'm just trying to finish the nature made bottle. There are also prescription ones! Sorry, not sure which are best, but as long as it has what your doctor said you need it should be fine... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-187541 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 22:55:15 +0000 Jumpingjacks 187541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Materna and have had no issues due to it, but I think it can really vary by individual as to whether you react to the pre-natals or not. I've been told that it's best to take them on a full stomach to avoid nausea and don't take them within an hour of other medications or vitamins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-187535 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 22:37:03 +0000 runsyellowlites 187535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Look into vitaspray!! I believe they have a "prenatal" &amp; it's just a couple sprays... That's it! No swallowing or chewing &amp; it'll absorb sublingually :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-advicemy-gummies-make-me-gag#post-187531 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 22:31:27 +0000 heartsnsunshine 187531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So when I found out I was pregnant the doctor said to buy some prenatal vitamins with the specifics of folic acid etc. I bought vitafusion gummies with DHA because they looked good and tasted "SOOO good".... AT FIRST... now I am 9weeks plus and I gag every time I have to chew them and swallow them, I dread having to take them.... I have developed a HUGE aversion to sweet, fruity stuff.... Anyone have any recommendations on any good prenatal vitamins comparable to the gummies that you swallow as a pill and are soft on your stomach? Thanks !! </p>
