I need to know what is something else I can take besides my prenatals?

Question

Ok I'm 5months pregnant and my prenatals are too big for me to take. I've taken maybe 3 during my whole pregnancy. Is there something else I can take besides them. And how will it effect my baby?

Answer 1

Talk to your doctor about a different brand. I know exactly what you are talking about, Currently i take "Obtrex" its not bad and not as big as the others, but there are different ones too, I can't remember the names. Talk to your doctor and he/she can help maybe prescribe soemthing different

Answer 2

Prenatals are not THAT important. The important thing is Folic Acid Acid and they are very very tiny. But, if you're 5 months, the crucial part is already over that it's needed for. If you're wanting to take vitamins, my doctor said to take Flintstones. I had the same problem

Answer 3

Try a different brand--I take One Source prenatal vitamins--available at Wal-Mart--and instead of being one huge pill, they break it down into two smaller pills. You take two pills a day instead of one--but the pills are the size of tylenol instead of like horse pills.

Answer 4

if your prenatals are too big for you to take ask you doctor about the chewable ones. they don't taste that great but you really should take prenatals.

Answer 5

you can take Flintstones. You need to step up your diet , and eat lots of fruits and veggies. Your baby will be fine. I was never able to take them, they made me deathy ill. I have 2 very healthy, smart children. And one on the way.

Answer 6

Try breaking them up into smaller pieces and taking them separately. if this does not work. tell your doctor the problem and ask him to prescribe you a smaller vitamin.

Answer 7

You can take children Flintstones vitamins.
