I need to switch mine. Just the thought of taking mine every night makes my stomach retch. It's awful. Has anyone found one that works well? I'd even be open to a sour gummy one...

I take Rainbow Light Prenatal One
It's food-based and I take it right before bed. Never had any problems with it.
Good luck!

My doc just told me to use gummies vitamins through the first trimester and I've had no issues. They have actual adult gummy vitamins and they are delicious! I take an additional 400mg of Folic acid along with it.

Mine were making me sick. I went to flintstones, they made me sick. Now doing the gummy ones and they don't make sick, I really like them.

How funny, that's what I'm taking too (also did with my last preg) and they are killing me. I might have to cheese out and get something a littler lower quality until this passes. These look okay:

Oh. I just noticed you posted the link for them. Lol. I do need to look into an iron supplement to take with it soon.

I think for me it's all about the timing.
I always do better with vitamins at night (I take multivitamins even when not pregnant).
The gummies look yummy but my dentist says they cause cavities because of the way they stick to your teeth. I used to give DD1 gummy vitamins but switched after that.
I'd take the gummies over nothing though! I say whatever you have to do to survive & help baby thrive!

I thought about taking the gummy ones, but they contain a lot less of the doses of the vitamins and minerals... I would look at them to make sure you are offsetting enough w/ the food you consume. Since I haven't been keeping down the "good" foods, I figured the gross tasting prenatals were more needed than not.

I'm taking the Vitafusion gummies, too! I figured I'll switch back to the non-gummies once my nausea is all gone and I use them all up.

Since regular prenatals make me so sick, my dr. said to take the gummies as well. Hope they work for you.

When I went to see the high risk specialist he told me just to take folic acid and not worry about the rest of them until the m/s had passed. He told me that other than folic acid nothing is that important till about 16 weeks.
