Prenatal Vitamins

dreamsabc123dreamsabc123 Senior Member Senior Member
So I was given the okay by Maternal Fetal Medicine to go ahead with the IUI plans!! :o) I'm not going to start trying until January probably, but they asked that I start taking the prenatal vitamins now. I bought Centrum Specialist Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplement that has a DHA supplement and it says its a complete multivitamin "prenatal." It has two pills one is a softgel pill that contains fish oil concentrate, gelatin, glycerin and purified water. I can not swakllow this pill without choking on it! Everytime i try to take it the pill gets very stuck in my throat! The other pill that comes with this is much larger and i can swallow that one just fine! its just this softgel one that i have a real hard time with. Are all prental vitamins like this? Does anyone have any suggestions??

    I use "B-Nexa" brand prenatals which have 40mg Vitamin B6, 1.2mg Folic Acid, 124.1mg Calcium and 100mg Ginger root powder extract... They're about half the size of my previous prenatals and come in a tablet form, so they don't get stuck in your throat like many of the softgels can. Plus, the addition of ginger is great because it's supposed to help with nausea (i.e. morning sickness).

    I take Rainbow Light prenatals, i get them through whole foods. They're natural and I only have to take one a day and they're not huge pills. Like Jaime stated above, mine have ginger and a couple other herbs to prevent nausea. I also take a fish oil in addition to the prenatals.

    I used Rainbow Light for the duration of my pregnancy and I'm still using them now while breastfeeding. They were easy to swallow and digest. Good luck.
