I used to take pills, then switched to gummies, and now I'm back to pills. I'm taking the similac prenatals and they're working great! Quite pricey though ($13 for 30 pills) but the benefits are worth it! I haven't had any sickness with them at all

I stopped taking mine around 20 weeks because they made my heart race horribly for some reason. I don't take any now. My baby is healthy !

You need the vitamins to help the baby develop. Or the baby will be taking all of your calcium and your iron from your body to help him there growth. I stopped taking my pills at 32 weeks pregnant and changed yo prenatal gummies:)

my friend had to take the vita fusion prenatal funnies because they don't contain iron and the iron was making her stomach upset....I also heard that if prenatal a make you feel yucky to take them before bed...baby should be fine ;)

I was in the same boat. I started taking the gummy ones because the pills made me really sick. I never got nauseas from the gummy ones. I was also told that prenatal vitamins aren't really for the baby, they're for you, anything your baby needs she's gonna take it from you and it's going to weaken you which is why you take the vitamins. I'm 35weeks and I can't remember the last time I took mine. I started to dislike the flavor of the gummies but they are a good alternative
