The Supplement Dance

This pregnancy has been relatively easy. Most days I feel quite normal, and only remember my "fragile state" when walking past a mirror or struggling to get out of a chair. My biggest complaint about pregnancy...prenatal vitamins. They're the devil.

For those not well acquainted with these jumbo choking hazards, here is what you're not missing:

• Nightmares/scary, vivid dreams
• Gagging
  
• Sudden onset nausea & vomiting
• Vitamin burp (tastes a little like chalk...or fish if you're taking DHA as well)
• Horrible guilt from missing one (I'm a dietitian; I know it's not a big deal)
  

However, after 26 weeks of pregnancy and 4 different vitamins, I think I have found a winner. THANK YOU Nature Made brand for making a prenatal vitamin that I can tolerate. You have made me very happy, and I hope we can continue this relationship through the next 3 months of pregnancy and into lactation.
