Nasty Prenatals

I think it has to be some sort of cruel joke made up by men to make prenatals so aweful smelling! My boyfriend thinks I just have to get over it but it seriously makes me ill everytime I take it. I can't stand them! They smell so bad I have to choke/gag them down and then I have to lay down and rest to keep from throwing them back up.
Anyone else have this problem or know of a non smelly alternative? One of my friend suggested the gummies but I've never been a fan of gummy candy and I'd rather take something that's aweful quickly and be done with it than have to chew something that I don't want in my mouth.

I had the same problem!! I was taking some natural ones that were smaller, b/c I'm not so good with pills. But because they were small, I had to take them 3 times a day! YUCK. I found that if I took them with food it helped... but that is a given. I had to eat something right after taking them so I wouldn't taste them anymore. I also always had to take them with some kind of flavored drink... apple juice, OJ, etc. Oh, and the ones I took had a kind of powder on them. You wouldn't have noticed it unless you wiped them off and saw the powder. So I had to wipe them off before I took them... but it helped. My hubby thought I was nuts :)

Ugh, i was right there with you last week.... I could barely choke them down because of the smell, size and general icky feeling after i took them. Turns out the iron was probably making me sick. I found the gummies without iron and it's MUCH better. I'm not much of a sugar person either but it's not as bad!

I switched to a over the counter brand instead of my prescription ones, but I'm not sure of what the brand was. They were like a gel capsul instead of the dry pill and they didn't have such a disgusting smell and flavor. Try looking around for something different, the over the counter prenatals work just as well.

I'm taking TopCare brand and they don't smell or taste like anything. They're big, of course, but not too bad to take (to me at least). Kinda just like any other vitamin I've ever taken.

you can try the prenatals by Nature's Made - i take those and they don't smell at all but mostly I like them because they aren't horse pills!!!

I'm in Canada and take the Life Brand (store brand) prenatals. They don't smell or taste bad. When I was living in NY I knew someone who was taking the prenatals and hers smelled like vanilla. I'm not sure what she was taking, but she liked them. Maybe try a different brand and see if that helps?
