I am well past my morning sickness
days (thank God!), but boy do I wish I had known about these then! I
mean, you're likely already taking a prenatal vitamin of some sort
when you're pregnant. It's about time someone formulated them to help
with morning sickness!
I also found it interesting that
Morning Pep Prenatal includes probiotics as well. I've not gotten
into probiotics much, to be honest, but they have become more and
more popular over the past several years and I hear plenty of people
who swear by their benefits! I even read something recently that
claims that taking a probiotic during pregnancy * may * help with
preventing the group B strep that can pop up during pregnancy (or any
time of life) and is tested for your doctor around 36 weeks.
Other than what I mentioned above,
here is my experience/opinions on Morning Pep so far:
-I would not call these “easy to
swallow”. They are your typical horse pill-sized prenatal. That is
probably my biggest complaint about these. I am not great at
swallowing pills to begin with. These are impossible unless I chop
them up.
-I wouldn't say these are odorless
either. They smell like, well, vitamins. Or, as my husband described
them, “Like a Flintstones vitamin without the flavoring.” ha ha!
Tasteless? If you're swallowing them like a normal person, yes, I
would say they're tasteless.
-Comparing the amount and type of
iron and vitamin D I was previously taking to that which is included
in the Morning Pep Prenatal, we decided it should be ok to stop
taking those as I don't want to have too much of a good thing!
So far the results have been surprising. The iron supplement I was
taking was really messing my, well, #2's up. I'll spare you the
details. I thought I would go back to being more regular since there
isn't as much iron in the prenatal, but so far it seems to have the
opposite effect. Who knows. It's not been quite a week yet. My body
still might be getting used to them.
That being said, I would still
definitely recommend these to other pregnant friends! I realize most
people are a lot better at taking pills than I am. (Though I would
love to see a smaller size or chewable version in the future?) Plus,
if it has any chance with helping morning sickness at all, I'm sure
most pregnant people will be lined up to try these!
Oh! And they are made for nursing
mothers as well, which is great because nursing can really deplete
you of vital nutrients for yourself AND baby! Even if you don't/can't
nurse, these would come in handy for after you give birth regardless
to start down a healthy road of recovery.
I was really sick and felt awful for about 20 weeks with my first daughter - this sounds great. Sarah #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteI had morning sickness (all day long!) for the full nine months with my second son and found just about all vitamins made me nauseous; I used to argue that they should have anti- nausea meds mixed in. #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteUgh, that sounds terrible! An old school friend had that too with her third son.
DeleteGood argument, though! You think someone would have thought to include them sooner...especially since I know the vitamins themselves can make some people feel yucky!
Wow! I had no idea that there are pills for morning sickness as such. Where were these when I need them! lol! x
