Don't be silly. Missing one is no big deal. Next time try putting water in your mouth first, then the vitamin. It helps me.

All of the ones I have tried were huge so I can't recommend a smaller one. Why don't you try talking to your doc about getting chewables...I heard alot of people take them.

Re: Nearly choked to death.... HELP!!!!!!!!
If you are finding this a problem, don't take the prenatals. You don't need them if you are eating a balanced diet.
I didn't take prenatals during my pregnancy due to problems taking iron and I had a very very healthy pregnancy and a very very healthy baby. If you can't take them, don't kill yourself doing it.

This is also how I swallow pills.
But maybe you can put it in like yogurt or applesauce? Maybe that way it is like hidden in the gulp of food? And the food is thick so you probably wouldnt even feel it go down.

Go out and get yourself the flintstone gummy ones. They taste yummy and do the same thing. Only thing you need to take in addition that is a folic acid and those are usually so tiny.
Feel better!

Re: Nearly choked to death.... HELP!!!!!!!!
This may sound gross but my when I was younger I could NEVER swallow pills. My dad would break them in half and take each half in a big spoon and put OJ in each spoon and mix it until it dissolved. Maybe that would help?

Mine are small. "Perfect Prenatals." from the health food store/Vitamin store by me. One at each meal. I usually take two at breakfast and one at dinner. LOVE them
