Try the gummie kind, they are a little easier to deal with. I got a bottle of the target brand and it even has DHA.

I've never noticed a smell on mine...Brainstrong prenatals. But I don't know if I'm just missing my bloodhound pregnancy nose, it occasionally catches me but for the most part it's not one of my stronger symptoms.

Yes all prenatal vitamins stink.  I have 2 boys and tried several different vitamins and they all smelled horrible and they too made me sick to my stomach! If you would like something that has all of the same things that the prenatal vitamins have and taste better try the carnation breakfast drinks. They settle better.  good luck!

No I take Prenate DHAn and it works for me.  If it is making you ill, tell your doctor, maybe they can switch you to another pill
