prenatal vitamins

Anyone else having a hard time swallowing there vitamins? I can't do the gummy ones I can't stand things like that that get stuck to my teeth lol but ive been having a horrible time swallowing my vitamin one time as soon as I swallowed it I got sick and if I take it when my stomach feels upset there's no use because I can't get it down.

not sure if you can post pictures...

I take a brand called multi sure.  It is a gel cap vitamin.  No taste and easier to swallow.  Materna and the other name brands made me sick.  I'm in canada so not sure of the availability other places

I couldn't stomach my prenatal vitamins so my doctor had me by Flintstone vitamins. They are smaller and have a good flavor. No problems now :)

I have a genetic disorder that doesn't allow me to process folic acid among other issues so I have to take an alternate form. Plus, baby aspirin, additional B6 & B12. Taking my pills is a chore. I'm just glad that we caught it early & that most of what I need to take is just vitamins. I've found the gel capsules easier to swallow for the prenatal. Good luck.

Yes!  I have trouble swallowing pills in general (irrational fear of choking) but my prenatals for some reason give me extra grief. I am forever thinkkng "please stay down" as i am swallowing them.
