OH do I hear you...As if the morning sickness is not bad enough they have to throw in those horse pills. If I can't keep my breakfast down how do they expect me to swallow those? YAK! Merediths last blog post..{2 More Feet}

My last prenatal vitamin was a huge horse pill the size that you are talking about and unfortunately since it had some gel coating on it you could cut them in half or fourths or eighths. This time I just bought some generic (non-prescription) prenatal vitamins from Costco. They are still just one a day which I like but I think they are half the size of my old one. I too agree that you would think they could make tasty vitamin treats for pregnant ladies after all we go through to get pregnant and then the 10 months of being pregnant and then the aftermath of pregnancy.

I never had a problem b/c I can pretty much swallow anything.

That’s what she said.

I hate them, too. I don't take them. I take my regular and supplement what's missing - mostly iron and folic acid. Those tablets are small puppies and don't hurt going down. I've taken a powder - you can mix it into either water (not fantastic) or something like yogurt (not bad). It's WAY better! And it was a super well formulated, healthy vitamin not filled with dyes and sugar and crap like that. I think it's by Enzymatic Therapies. Heidis last blog post..Guess what?

Put them in applesauce to swallow them — it’s the only way I can take large pills!

boy do i so totally agree w/ you!
i have a hard time even swallowing a dam tylenol.

but i discussed w/ my dr (and of course, i know everyone’s different)….
but she said as long as i’m taking *some* vitamin, she didn’t care if it was prenatal.
i just had to look at the iron/ folic acid.

so i’ve taken just a plain ol’ tiny publix brand multivitamin for the better part of it. (that’s when i’d remember)

also, i like the gummy fish of omega-3s. way better than those huge fish oil pills.

I once returned a bottle of them to the store because they were SO FOUL (smelling and tasting). It even said on the bottle "no taste or odor." Yeah. Right. Also, I like a nice BLT. mayberrys last blog post..How I met your father
