Are there any small or chewable prenatals?
I bought some OTC prenatals and they are HORSE PILLS! I have trouble swallowing anything larger than Advil...
Does anyone have any small or chewable ones that don't upset your stomach? For now I am doing Flinstone chewables and a folic acid 800 mcg supplement.

When I was taking OTC I was doing the Folic supplement and Centrum complete.
Duet and PreCare both make prescription prenats.

My dr prescribed PreCare Prenatal Vitamins. I can't swallow those huge pills either.

I didn't like any vitamins.
DH found a solution - gummy bear vitamins for kids. I've been taking them everyday every since.

My OB has prescribed PreCare Chewables. They are orange flavored. I can not swallow any pills, so these work for me.

Are the Flinstones with folic acid gummy ones? Now I am taking Flinstones gummies with extra C plus a folic acid pill.
I know the Flinstones I take have folic acid, but is there a special Flinstones with extra folic acid?

I just take plain old chewable Flintstones. Ob said I didn't need extra folic acid.

I highly recommend liquid prenatals. The absorption rate is much higher than pills, and they taste yummy. Here is the link for the ones I take:
