Alternatives for Prenatal Vitamins

I'm not very big on pills--especially horrid tasting horse pills like prenatal vitamins so I've been cutting my pills into 4 pieces.  I also take them with a big glass of chocolate milk which totally covers the taste and because it's a thick liquid, it helps me swallow the pills much easily.  And taking it at night just before bed does help with the nausea but it also makes you wake up in the middle of the night to relieve yourself of the big glass of milk.   But this is what's been working for me for the last week.  However, I'm still on a hunt for chewable vitamins.  My doctor said as long as their is 400 mg of folic acid in the vitamin, it'll do for a prenatal source.  I think I may try and look at the giant bulk bottle of chewable vitatmins at Costco.

I was told by a friend that has a couple kids that are all health and doing well, that her prenatal vitamins made her sick so she took two flinstone vitamins a day to be equivalent to her prenatals. Any opinions cause mine make me sick too and i was thinking about trying it

I have the same issue ladies, and am on my third child........I learned with my first one, to always take a gel or liquid filled, and a must is.......always take at NIGHT just before going to sleep!  It has worked for me!  I am a nurse too, and am quessing that physiologically, it breaks down while you are sleeping, and you don't have to experience the woozies during this process.
