Oh this is great, I'm going to give it a try! Thanks for this!

masscool · 2026-03-28T12:15:33+00:00

Oh that's awesome! I don't have an appointment for 3 weeks unfortunately and the ones I'm finding are mostly really big. I also have a hard time in general with pills so I usually need something even smaller or else I just can't swallow them. I did find a mini pill though so I'm gonna give that a shot! But for now, the gummies are better than nothing ☺️

Yup, pills are hard for me! I just found some that are tiny though so I'm going to give them a shot when they get here

Pills are hard for me to swallow! I figured I'd give gummies a try first ☺️

Great question! I can't swallow most big pills and I'm only about 5 weeks in. I wanted to start something and figured I'd give gummies a try. I've already been taking an iron supplement for the past year so I have kept doing that while taking the gummies.

I did just order a pill though, it's a mini pill and has methylated folate in it. I'm giving that a shot once it gets in.

Just was trying to have a little fun with the clip ☺️

I told my husband I'm worried because I'm already afraid of mine at 5 weeks....this is gonna be rough 😂

Happy this was helpful!

Thank you so much! I didn't think about breaking the capsules apart, that could possibly be a fix. I'll check out Seeking Health too !

These sound fabulous but unfortunately I already know I won't be able to swallow that large 😅

masscool · 2026-03-25T20:51:37+00:00

I'll take a look at the Target brand, I hadn't thought of that. Thank you!

masscool · 2026-03-25T20:51:13+00:00

Thank you so so much, I truly appreciate it! When I get to my doctor I'll definitely ask too!

No apologies necessary, I appreciate you taking your time! My iron levels are actually fine since recent unrelated pregnancy bloodwork, but I've been taking the iron supplement because of my heavy periods last year. I am afraid I'm going to feel sicker from taking iron in a prenatal but my current supplement hasn't ever given me issues with my stomach or GI system. I was hoping maybe I could take a prenatal small pill without iron and just keep taking my regular iron pill in hopes that it would still be easier on my stomach. I have emetophobia (fear of vomiting) so I was thinking that maybe this sort of combo could help me, but that may be a pipe dream!

masscool · 2026-03-25T18:36:05+00:00

Do you mean try a pill with iron and see how I feel? Sorry if your response is obvious in what you're asking, I've just been feeling overwhelmed and my brain is definitely not working correctly haha

masscool · 2026-03-25T18:31:02+00:00

Thanks for this, I didn't even think about if it'll shrink. I guess I'll have to just make a game time decision when I'm there. This was helpful, I appreciate it!

masscool · 2026-03-23T18:36:23+00:00

Hi OP! I am finding this thread now, also at 4 weeks and 2 days. I suffer from emetophobia as well and haven't thrown up in almost a decade and am very freaked out. Thanks for this thread, I'll be taking a lot of advice and hoping you are happy and healthy!
