Is anyone else having a hard time swallowing their prenatal vitamins? I really like them because…

I take flintstone gunmies

I take the gummy prenatal vitamins. lol. I have a hard time swallowing any type of pill.

@jrsmom0216, @momma588 Thanks but I purchased 3 bottles so I'm gonna see if I can crush them and put into something. I just hate wasting money Lol

I understand. :)

@chichimango, I totally understand

I gagged on those pills! Asked my dr about prenatal gummies and he approved! I love these..but I also take other supplements as well such as iron and fish oil.

Omg!! I take those and yes very hard time. I've hard to break it in half and only take it with juice!

That's my problem. @babyhawkins2015 I'm gagging when I never had an issue before. But I'm gonna call the company and see if crushing them is ok. I have too many bottles and I can't find the receipt. 😕

Also I tried crushing them and I wouldn't recommend it, it made me sick bc it's a very strong taste!

@emilywebb, Omg!!!! I have to chug orange juice to get it down. lmao. I thought I was the only one. I'll try breaking them in half to see if gets easier. 😄

@chichimango, yikes, hopefully you can break them with those pill cutters, I don't see why not ..but then again, I am not the pharmaceutical company lol

Yes that's exactly my problem. I take it with Gatorade and it really helps breaking it in half!

@emilywebb, @babyhawkins2015 thanks for all the insight. 😊

The main reason I stuck with them was bc my doctor HIGHLY recommend them! Good luck!

I had. But after I told it to my doc he changed it for smaller

@babyboy1202, @emilywebb Thanks again everyone. I appreciate all the input. 😊

i have a trick for pills. take a sip of water or juice but leave it inside your mouth, then pop the pill in and gulp the liquid with the pill. it goes straight down and you dont taste the nasty vitamin taste just the liquid.

@mrsjosephine, I've tried that. I think the shape of the pill is making me gag. I've never had a problem taking anything before. I'm the queen of popping vitamins but they're either smoother or smaller. This pill is kinda big. lol

I tried taking those. Omg I gagged all the time and when it did go down my throat it felt like it was stuck and wanted to come back up

@babyn2015, I know how you feel. My problem is just getting it down but luckily I don't have it feel like it's still in my throat.

I'm taking them now.. I have to gulp them down with Pepsi every morning otherwise they won't go down

@vaevae2008, Lol I hear ya. They are hard to swallow. seems like they should be a different shape.
