TTMA: Prenatal Vitamins

[teachermomtobe]

I have been taking Women's One A Day prenatal vitamins with the separate DHA pill.  Lately swallowing them was getting tough and I even started cutting them in half but that is still not going over well.  Any suggestions for small pills or gummies?  If gummies do you take another iron supplement?

I'm taking VitaFusion gummy prenatals. They're okay. I don't do well swallowing pills (never have) so much prefer gummies. I like the One-a-Day gummies better.

I'll be asking at my first appointment on Thursday but haven't seen a need to take extra DHA or iron.

I also take the VitaFusion gummies. I don't supplement with iron, and it wasn't a problem in my last pregnancy.

+1 gummy prenatals. It might sound gross, but if I need to take other pills as well, I just chew up the gummy and then pop the pill in my mouth and swallow them all together. Much easier than with water.

Not a gummy, but I take the Nature Made prenatal with DHA. Just a single capsule. I did this for my last pregnancy too and through breastfeeding. It never gave me any issues. Good luck finding one that works for you!

I take Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite (mini tab) and their DHA softgels. I took them last pregnancy and was happy with them.

I bought the One a Day Prenatal gummies today and they definitely were easier to take. The pills have more vitamins including iron which I like but I figure at least I will get the folic acid and some vitamins on the days I just can't swallow the pills. Thanks for the suggestions!
