Prenatal Vitamins
I feel like such a bad mommy. I have such a hard time taking them. Swallowing pills makes me gag as it is and now I have to take 3 each night. Just the thought of it makes me sick. I havent taken them the last 2 nights. Is this bad? I know I have to take them and I will tonight. Has anyone else missed or not even taken prenatal vitamins? BTDT moms what did you do?

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
I forget every once in a while to take mine....and the same happened with DS #1. However, I don't have 3 pills to take...I have one pill. Maybe talk to your OB to see if he can give you one instead of 3.

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
The prenatals are (most times) for you, not for the baby. The baby will take what it needs. I didn't take mine for months because I was sick, and the Dr said it was fine and just to start taking them when I felt I could keep them down again. He told me the baby will take everything it needs and leave me with nothing, lol.

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
THe prescription ones from my OB are blueberry flavored chewables (although I just swallow them). They are called Vitafol-OB

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
Flame away, but I only took them during the first trimester with both my pregnancies because I couldn't swallow them. My DS is fine, and this pregnancy is going well also.

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
I had an issue with my old pill
but not at all with my new pill! i take prenate essential. it's an aqua pill... just one pill (has dha and that other one too e something). it's rx. and the coating is fruity tasting. goes down so easily.
i have on occasion forgotten to take it. but i've become a lot better at remembering. i leave them by my bed and take them before i go to bed each night. it also helps that i get heartburn and i take them along with my pepcid ac pills.

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
Walmart sells a gummi version that you can chew. If you keep them in the fridge, they taste just like gummi bears!

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
I just changed to a chewable that my dr. recommended for the same reason! I missed some vitamin time as well...

I also take these & they are very easy to get down.
But I do forget to take them at least once a week. I told my doctor and he said that's fine.

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
I forget them sometimes. I hate taking pills and just thinking about them makes me sick. I told my doctor yesterday and he changed them, so we'll see how this brand works, maybe they can change them to one pill a day, that is what I made them to for me.

Re: Prenatal Vitamins
With my first pregnancy I took a chewable regular vitamin and added a folic acid and a DHA pill because they are SO much smaller than the prenatal vitamins. They can choke a horse!
