I hate to admit it but I was not taking any for the past 2 months, it started with them making me sick, then when I jumped to the 2nd trimester and started to feel better I just forgot to take them, all the time, then just stopped.

Well, today I was looking for my son's vitamins and I saw this box that says "Baby needs chocolate!" LOL you bet that caught my attention.  So I checked the box and they are like energy bars, actually chocolate tofee bars, they are prenatal vitamins and they are delicious!!!  Actually they are also very fulfilling so from now on I think those will be my afternoon snack.  They also have another type that is I think yogurt, but of course with me chocolate won.  Its called Belly Bar.

which ones are you using?  do you like them?  or do they make you sick?

Yeah I didn't take them with my son yet and he is perfectly fine.  My doctor is telling me to use them now because I am a little anemic and need the extra nutrition.  That's why I felt a little bad about not taking any lol.

i think the main part of taking the prenatals is the Folic Acid that you are supposed to get. but i drink sooooo much orange juice and eat a crap load of salad, so i get my share.

I took the pills I was prescribed for a couple weeks but they made me really sick so I switched to Flinestones and... eww... I didn't take any for the majority of my pregnancy (and he's happy, healthy and 13 mos)

yeah my doctor told me to eat veggies but I hate them!  I'm a worst picky eater than my son, and I usually dont drink juice either, I would drink tons of water but barely any juice, makes me nauseous bad  I usually eat fruits -just bananas, apples once a month, grapes and oranges- but no veggies unless its corn.
