The pills are awful. You would think they would have come up with something a bit easier or better for us that they prescribe. I gag when I take them and can never take them with the water because they taste horrendous. I need something with a lot of flavor and even then I can still taste them
I take the gummies but it has to be after I eat. I have trouble swallowing the pills too. The package says how much folic acid is in them and its more than enough.
I have took the Flintstones gummies with all my pregnancy and this is my 3rd but other two are fine.
I have the Meijer brand prenatal vitamins and they are WAY better than any of the other kind of OTC brand I've found. I tried the gummies but after a while I found it hard to chew them and they would make me want to throw them up from the taste and trying to chew them.
I can't take the ones they prescribed either they are huge and chalky I vomit when I try to take them
See the pharmacist said there wasn't as much folic acid or something in them. Everything gives me heartburn so that won't be a problem for me. I think I may just buy them and toss the pills. I was taking one the other night and handed the bottle to my boyfriend and I was like here smell these. Poor guy took a huge whiff! Lol he was so grossed out
I do the gummies too. But one of the gummies gave me heartburn so I'm back to the Flintstone gummies.
I take prenatal gummies and they are awesome, taste good and of course easy to swallow. My doctor said they are fine, they've got everything I need :)
