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!

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!

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.

I've gone with the chewable gummies from Target!

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.

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?

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

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.

I'm a big fan of the Rainbow Light Petite. 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.
A lot of the gummies, at least all that I checked, don't have much, if any, in the way of iron or calcium.
