I take how gummy prenatals and was able to take them first thing in the morning. Now I can't, so I take them before bed and have had no issues.

I also take the gummy kind from Walmart. I can't take a vitamin unless it is a gummy. It is easier on my stomach. I also take mine before bed. And I find if I snack with it like  few crackers helps as well.

If you eat healthy baby will take nutritents from what you eat prenatals are for you to have nutrients.i couldnt take them with my daughter so I made sure I ate really good.. They also help prevent down syndrome and neural tube defects... I couldnt take them again with this pregnancy so I eat good..

I'm 11 weeks Pregnant and Am taking no Prenatals. At first I was really hard on my self about it but after talking to my doctor I feel much better. I do however take Foil Acid Everyday and eat really well, I mean really well. Lots of eggs,beans,whole grains, and mega amounts of fruits and veggies. Remember that depending on how far along you are that the nutrients in vitamins are only supplements to the food you should be eating and the baby gets first pick, you get the scraps :)

If the gummies upset your stomach too take two flintstone vitamins a day instead. Compared they are better and cheaper then the gummies

You need to experiment until you find one that works for you. I use a chewable and I take them at night and it helped tremendalously. My first one made me constipated horribly and actually was the only morning sickness I had! Also try taking it with food and a bottle of water. Might help your tummy digest it better.

I was the same way, unable to take any- I even tried the chewables. And I just recently bought the ones @OctoberMommy2014 is referring to- I love them! Definitely something else to try.  :)

I take gummy vitamins! I can't/won't swallow pills, but they're from walmart.. I'll spell it kind of funny b/c sometimes they block out brands..
" S p r i n g  V a l l e y " -- they're sugary, fruity, and actually very yummy! lol

they're prenatal gummies & they include DHA & folic acid, which is very important, so you shouldn't have to take anything else with it.
just remember take 2 a day! good luck!!! ((((:
