Can any of you ladies recommend a prenatal that isn't a gigantic horse pill?? The past 2 days I haven't been able to swallow mine because they are making me gag and obviously I need to take them. I'd prefer a more natural brand but at this point I'll take any one I can get down.

I tried finding a prenatal that wasn't giant and was successful. But you have to take like, 6 a day to get your daily requirements and no thank you. I tried some gummies but they make me gag so I finally caved and bought the Target brand ones with DHA added. They're big but have that gel slick coating and don't feel like a horse pill going down.
I'm currently doing generic (CVS brand) of Vitafusion gummies because I don't like horse pills either, even when I'm not pregnant.
I prefer the Meijer brand because they have better flavors and are easier to chew, but I can tolerate the CVS brand. These are just harder to chew for me.
The Meijer brand of Vitafusion is like eating candy.
My OB recommended taking them right before bed which helped me not throw them up. But they were still huge!
I do this too, before bed/in the evening. But mine are
Naturemade, I think?
Your OB should be able to give you samples to take? I remember there being a couple where it was 2 pills - one vitamin and one DHA pill - and each was a lot smaller, like Colace-sized capsules. I don't remember the brands. They may have been via Rx.
Thanks ladies. I was finally able to get one down today but I'm going to ask about it at my first appointment so this doesn't have to be daily torture.
Last time around I took one called Select OB Plus or something. It was a blue raspberry flavored chewable and a plant-based DHA. They were the only ones I could keep down. I can't wait until I can get more of them because the OTC ones are making me so sick. I just told my OB that I couldn't keep the OTC vitamins down and he gave me 3-4 samples to try and prescribed the ones that worked best for me.

Any MTHFR ladies? My OB gave me samples of NeevoDHA and so far I like it. Last time I took prenate elite. Curious if anyone is just taking a generic OTC prenatal and supplementing with folate?
