how good are you at taking prenatals?
Youd think after all the meds, injections etc, that i wouldnt have a problem swallowing that nasty green pill but with my ms, its harder and harder. Ive been skipping probably 3 out of 7 days/week. Is that really bad?

Re: how good are you at taking prenatals?
Crashing here-- but I got a good tip from my RE she told me to take them right before I went to sleep and I don't know if you have to take a specific kind but Stuart's prenatals are odorless and don't have a funny after taste.

I also take them right before bed. I keep them on my bedside table. If they bother you you can ask for different ones.

I think target has chewable gummies. Maybe ask your ob if you can take those for now.

Re: how good are you at taking prenatals?
I take the GNC prenatal program, 3 pills twice a day, and they have no odor. They also don't make me feel sick either. Plus they're white, except the DHA pill which is a yellow liquid gel.
So far so good with these, I used to take the Nexa Select, they were brown and made me sick so I had to stop

Re: how good are you at taking prenatals?
I think you'll be ok. When you're feeling better just start them back up again. I don't always take mine everyday. I have a morning and night routine of injections and other supplements and sometimes I just don't know where to fit them in.

Re: how good are you at taking prenatals?
I'm usually pretty good but I take them with my other pills an food so if I scarf down breakfast then I have to wait til the next meal. Sometimes I forget them for a day.

Re: how good are you at taking prenatals?
The best way for me to remember was to get one of the 7 day week pill holders and every Sunday I fill it up with the prenatals, folic acid and my baby aspirin. I take them every night before bed and is right on my counter so I brush my teeth, take my pills and fill up my water glad sir the night.
I take the target up and up brand, not chewy but pills. They are the only ones that didn't make me constipated  or make me feel odd

Re: how good are you at taking prenatals?
I take my prenatals right before bed, which I did with some of my fertility meds, so I am just in a routine of taking pills before going to sleep. I think I missed my prenatals once this whole time.

Re: how good are you at taking prenatals?
My new ones are green softgels  The old ones were redish. We will see how these new ones go since it's the first day. They couldn't get in my olds ones for some reason.

Re: how good are you at taking prenatals?
Since the bad MS started, the pills just make me gag so bad. I do try to take them at night before bed, but I failed to that 3 times this weeks, so I just asked OB if gummies would be ok, and she said she didn't care as long as I got it in...I plan on picking some up tonight..
